Dios te salve, María

Alicante, year 1939. In the last moments of the Civil War, the Air Raid Shelters became the safest place to save the lives of thousands of people during the bombings. They sheltered fear, but also the story of many people like Maria, a young dreamer, eager to show the world that love can overcome anything. That it doesn't matter if a thousand bombs fall, as long as love exists, there is hope. A hope that she imagines with Carmen, a young woman from the Santa Cruz neighborhood, daughter of fishermen, with whom she maintains a close relationship. A secret relationship, full of clandestine meetings in the shelters.

Lullaby of the onion

Going to the doctor to make a diagnosis or to have a treatment is a common thing in the outside world. But for every prisoner it is a very difficult or impossible path. Lander Garro, the director, turns to those who have lived the experience of being ill in prison to better understand its consequences. It uses a language that goes beyond political discourse, exploring the helplessness of prisoners whose right to health is limited from an emotional point of view, through cinematographic tools. 'Tipularen sehaska kanta' ('Nana de la cebolla' - 'Lullaby of the onion') more than a political film is an artistic film, narrated in the first person and from the entrails. Based on the poem 'Nana de la cebolla' by the Spanish poet Miguel Hernández, who died in prison in 1942, the film makes a historical analogy: if it didn't make sense to die in prison in 1936, does it make sense today?

We accompany singer Anne Etchegoyen on the journey undertaken every winter between 1870 and 1940 by hundreds of women from Navarre and Aragon—known as the "swallows" because of their migratory resemblance to birds—across the Pyrenees to the French Basque Country to work in the espadrille industry and then return home in the spring to help the local economy, start their own families, and begin a new life. A journey through time, geography, and historical and personal circumstances, through archives, documents, photographs, and interviews.
