ABOUT THE FILM
The discovery of a series of unpublished tapes prompts Juan Carlos Pérez, leader of the iconic band Itoiz, to reflect on their break-up at the height of their fame, following an obvious shift in style towards pop music that he continues to spurn today. Juan Carlos therefore sets out on a cathartic journey into the essence of the group, reliving its early days as a prog-rock group in the Mutriku of the early 70s as he comes to terms with the past.
2024, directed by Larraitz Zuazo & Zuri Goikoetxea & Ainhoa Andraka, 102 minutes, color, in Euskara and Spanish with English subtitles.
