Julio Medem comes from the Spanish province of Basque Land, this film by the Spanish director should be considered as a statement on the relationship of his small homeland between its terrorist past associated with the ETA organization and the bright European future, which, although based on initial deception, on the appropriation of a completely non-European Basque civilization. But on the other hand, it is like a terrible past next to a fanatic who can mutilate himself in order to prove his feelings, and therefore his rights to a girl.
