ABOUT THE FILM
Txiki’s life provided us with an insight into the last executions of Franquism. His life, his history, his friends, and his dreams of freedom. While others bury their memory in the common pit of forgetfulness, where light or remembrance cannot reach, their families, friends, work colleagues, and anti-Franquist activist partners tell us about the end of the dictatorship, about their memories. These are testimonies that this lurking blanket of forgetfulness has not erased. It is a living history; it is part of our history.
2008, Directed by Joseba Iñaki Agirre Errazkin, 85 minutes, color, in Euskara and Castilian with English subtitles.
