    • Synopsis
    • When he was just a child, Jon discovered the past of his father, Iñaki Viar, linked to ETA. Son, grand-son and great-grandson of Basque nationalists, Iñaki was arrested in 1969 by the social political brigade and tried together with Teo Uriarte and Mario Onaindía in the Burgos Process. Years later he organized the Segovia escape and, finally, in 1977, he regained his freedom. Iñaki, like many other prisoners, denies nationalism and condemns terrorist violence. Jon, a movie buff, tries to understand his father’s past while living with attacks, kidnappings and many silences. By then, Iñaki is already considered a ‘traitor’ by the nationalist world.
