THE ROOT
Synopsis
Memory offers us a basis on which to recognise ourselves, but how can we remember something that nobody talks about? Through archive images provided by Tabakalera, Elias Querejeta Cinema School and the Basque film library, Isa Sáez talks to her grandmother about the taboos of their relationship.
