She has been initiated into the "Witches Sabbath" by a faith-healer. She is now going out with another man, Unai, one of the young men who are opposed to Don Fermín?s absolute power. Don Fermín, in order to quieten the people?s rightful protest, unleashes a cruel hunt against the so-called "witches".

After an accident in space, the Betizus crash-land on an apparently uninhabited planet. But they soon realise they?re not alone...

The once-great empire of Meadowland sees its superiority threatened by the limitless ambition of its rival empire Dungoland.

After 70 years of silence since the Civil War, relatives of the victims have broken their silence and are beginning to talk. They want more information concerning the collective executions and disappearances which have been forgotten by the rest of society. Reconstructing the memories collected from the neighbours will offer an opportunity to speak about the Spanish Civil War and its collateral effects as a historical tragedy, leaving aside the political vision, and the pain and suffering caused. That?s when we will have arrived at the reflection of this documentary.

Kepa and Martin are amateur cyclists and inseparable childhood friends. They are approaching their 40th birthdays when the company they work for is immersed in a prolonged conflict with the workers. Rumours of its imminent offshoring, just when Martin is about to become a father, throw him into a crisis leading to a confrontation with Kepa. When the real sense of their friendship is in danger, a common objective appears: taking their protests to the Tour de France with the help of a young journalist, Zuriñe, whose presence will provoke conflictive emotions.
Miguel Ángel Calvo Buttini

This is an emotional and choral comedy set in a beautiful countryside, where the traditional and bigger family Gonzalez-Zea, salmon, frogs, and another animals... rationals and irrationals... share the environment with people from a tiny village located near the Bidasoa river. Nacho, 45 years old, is a minister of the National Government (conservative ideology) and Jaime, his older twin brother by ten minutes (progressist ideology), is one of the most important surgeons in the country. Both are going to run for the position of President of the National Government...
Pedro Aguilera
83 min.
This is the story of a disoriented and vulnerable woman, overburdened with everyday problems: her belongings are impounded, her cosmetics shop is closed, and her children are forced to go to comprehensive school. The children?s vitality draws a sharp contrast to the apathy of their mother as she slowly sinks into deep depression. The kids, aware that she lacks the necessary strength and maturity to effectively face these problems, are forced to adopt adult attitudes. Life goes on, and things change. Sometimes the changes are slow and unnoticeable, at others they are sharp and tangible.
Julio Medem
