Basahaideak
There is a place where wild songs are sung that mimic the flight of birds; people for whom nothing else exists when they sing, who raise their eyes to the sky and let themselves be carried far away from here. This place is the Basque Country. It all started with a musician searching for new harmonies in these centuries-old songs. Then came the recording: a singer, the mountains, and between them, a microphone. And then everything became intertwined: the stories in the film, the stories in the songs, people's lives.
