Medium-length film
It’s 8 in the morning one summer in the early 70s. Ion, an ETA activist, runs for his life through San Sebastian’s Old Town with the police hot on his heals. The city is coming to life, and people are going about their usual routine. As he runs, he looks back at the story of his life. His memories of school, where he was forced to renounce his identity, alternate with the look in his father’s eyes and the figure of Madeleine.

Medium-length film
Domingo’s life revolves around gambling. He takes bets at rowing boat races, pelota courts and the squares where a variety of competitions take place. But it’s also an obsession that pushes him to take risks, always in cahoots with his cowardly and cynical sidekick, Kornelio. The loneliness of his wife Marcelina reveals the other side of a tale where tragedy could strike at any time.
José Julián Bakedano

Medium-length film
Manuel narrates his peaceful life with his brother Ramón until the arrival of a prostitute turns everything on its head. Esther’s presence sparks tension and conflict between the siblings until things come to a tragic head. The film explores family relations and repressed emotions in a rural environment.

Medium-length film
Based on the novel of the same name by Arantxa Urretabizkaia, the film follows the life of a 30 year-old married woman and her son. The protagonist asks herself what drove her husband, Txema, to leave her alone with their child. Internal monologues serve to explore subjects such as motherhood, loneliness and daily routine in the Basque society of the late 70s.
