Once Upon a Time in Euskadi (2021)
It’s the summer of 1985 in Euskadi. Marcos and his 3 friends, José Antonio, Paquito and Toni, anxiously await a promising summer break from the fresh view of a 12-year-olds who don't have a care in the world. They while away the hours in the maze life has prepared for them in the old Basque town of Euskadi. It’s a maze of painted walls of prefabricated concrete, where life and death no longer keep formal relationships.
