Loreak is the first film ever to compete in the Official Section to have been shot entirely in Basque and features three women whose lives are changed by nothing but a few bunches of flowers that bring to the surface feelings they thought they had forgotten. Flowers that represent sadness, hope, fear or frustration: how often have we driven along a road and seen flowers places there and have wondered what could have happened there? The directors of Loreak, Jon Garaño and Jose Mari Goenaga, have chosen all kinds of bunches of flowers to tell a story that combines film noir with romance. They said that what they were interested in doing was to mix concepts to create a world that was dramatic and romantic on the one hand, and enigmatic and mysterious on the other. “We wanted to immerse the entire film in the feeling aroused when we see flowers left by the side of a road.”
The fact that the film is in Basque emerged quite naturally as when they were writing the script they saw the actors they wanted in the project and they couldn’t imagine them speaking in Spanish.
