Etxea: The Basque Word For Home (NR)

synopsis

Etxea is a feature documentary about life in a rural community set in the heart of the Basque Country that explores the relationship between the residents of three houses who are brought together by a moment of crisis. Phil Miller, from Scotland and living isolated in an old house, Felica and Maria Esther who lead a humble and traditional life and a group of squatters who move into an abandoned building work together to recover a sense of community that has been lost. Through a tale of necessity and care, the film looks at themes of isolation, community and the meaning of home as defined in the Basque culture.
