Eltzegorra

It is said that we hear with our eyes, that when we are unable to identify the origin of a sound with our sight, our sense of alert is activated. In 1729, two brothers from Idiazabal were sentenced to exile for playing a forbidden instrument, the eltzegorra, a clay pot made of cat fur with a rope hanging from it. In the trial, documented in a manuscript from that year, witnesses recall the events, making special mention of the description of sound and its effects. Now, through the staging of the trial, the film explores the evocative power of sound and the fear of the unknown.

CABALLÉ

Caballé recounts the story of the soprano from her beginnings to her rise as the great diva of world opera. The film alternates between two periods of her life: on the one hand, her youth in a humble family marked by postwar hardship and the pressure of being the last hope for her loved ones; and on the other hand, her peak in 1991, when, already a great diva, she performs in her native Barcelona.

In reality, Ángel is a trans man who was only one final step away from completing his transition, and now he must face a decision that will test his identity, his dreams, and the way he understands his own masculinity.

AFTER THE FIRE

Ages of Madness:The howling of the Jinn

In a world on the brink of chaos, where ancient gods threaten to awaken, a motley crew of individuals—a young woman trapped in a sinister cult, a detective who confronts the occult, and a man burdened by the horrors of another age—find themselves connected to a forbidden book that holds the key to humanity's survival or destruction.

ESTOUCHA

In August 1936, more than a hundred women and men of different nationalities arrived in the Basque Country, responding to the Republic's anti-fascist call to fight against the military coup. Among them was Esther Zilberberg, alias ESTOUCHA. Polish, Jewish, communist, and a medical student in Belgium, she was barely 20 years old. Our film follows her exciting experiences in the Basque Country during the war. That eventful period was only the beginning of a personal and collective epic (that of those first internationalists who arrived in our land), buried for decades in oblivion. After the Civil War, during World War II, she was part of the French Resistance against the Nazis, a struggle for which she had to separate from her young son Georges. Estoucha ended up being arrested. She was taken to the Ravensbrück concentration camp and the Mauthausen extermination camp, but she survived. After being freed, she was able to get her son back, although she had lost her husband during the war. Now, through her son, now in his eighties, we recover her memory, accompanying him on his trip to the Basque Country to visit the places his mother told him so much about. Thus, in addition to being a historical documentary, the film becomes a physical and emotional journey, in which Georges discovers the secrets of that adventure in the fight against fascism.
