Eramos Pocos

Tuna fish spend months hibernating after the active feeding season in the Cantabrian Sea. Each year these seasons are filmed in rings, leaving opaque areas due to the lack of food.
Trumoiak
Two brothers are playing on the beach with firecrackers. They discover a motor home that appears abandoned and decide to explore its interior. Being drawn to risk forms the basis of their relationship.
Bizkarsoro (movie trailer)
In a non-existent town, five true stories based on oral testimonials and texts by writers take place between 1914 and 1982. Through them, we see the social changes experienced throughout the 20th century by a small town in the Northern Basque Country, the deep-rootedness and approximation of a language, and the struggle for survival.
