Hil Kanpaiak
Après une inespérée saison du cinéma québécois au Pays Basque, passant par Bilbao, San Sebastian et même Saint-Jean-de-Luz au printemps 2021, où la Cinémathèque québécoise était l’un des principaux partenaires, nous proposons maintenant un cycle basque à Montréal. La plupart des films présentés sont ici inédits et méritent qu’on les découvre. L’animation, le documentaire, le film historique, les drames sociaux, la danse et les questions de genres s’illustrent en douze étapes. Deux films du patrimoine basque complètent le lot.
A skeleton is found buried at the Garizmendi farmhouse. Fermín and Karmen call their son Néstor, who reports the matter to the authorities. But, when the agents turn up, the bones are gone. Suddenly, the bell on the nearby chapel begins to peal. This bad omen announces the coming of tragic events and reopens old wounds within the family. Second feature film by its director. (Cineuropa)
