Suro, the debut feature film by Basque director Mikel Gurrea was screened yesterday in the Official Selection. It is set in the Alt Empordà in Girona, where Iván and Helena, a young couple of architects from Barcelona, inherit a farmhouse and decide to make a new life for themselves in the countryside amongst the cork trees. To harvest the cork from these they hire a mixed team of local workers and Moroccan immigrants, but their different views on how to live on the land challenge their future as a couple.
Pol López, who plays the role of Iván, said that, “what defines these characters is the problem that they have in handling their own contradictions; it’s something we talked about a lot during rehearsals. Iván, in particular, is someone who comes from an urban environment and a cooperative culture and comes to a rural area where he has to act as a landowner. The film shows how there are social structures that are very difficult to overturn and this is something that makes my character really uneasy.”
