Basque Country, Spain. No one seems to know them. Some glances avoid theirs. Their social circle becomes smaller and smaller. They live under escort, watched by those who protect them and by those who threaten them: it is the experience of living in the shadow of ETA, a savage terrorist gang of unscrupulous criminals… of merely existing under the yoke of those who tomorrow could be their executioners.

The Scars

Mar 12, 2019

The personal stories lived by the Uncle, the Father and the Son, respectively, form a tragic experience that is drawn along a line in time. This line is comparable to a crease in the pages of the family album, but also to a crack in the walls of the paternal house. It resembles the open wound created when drilling into a mountain, but also a scar in the collective imaginary of a society, where the idea of salvation finds its tragic destiny in the political struggle. What is at the end of that line? Will old war songs be enough to circumvent that destiny?

When he was just a child, Jon discovered his father's past, Iñaki Viar, linked to ETA. Son, grandson, and great-grandson of Basque nationalists, Iñaki was arrested in 1969 by the political-social brigade and tried alongside Teo Uriarte and Mario Onaindia in the Burgos Trial. Years later, he organized the escape from Segovia and, finally, in 1977, he regained his freedom. Iñaki, like many other prisoners, renounces nationalism and condemns terrorist violence. Jon, a film buff, tries to understand his father's past while living with attacks, kidnappings, and a lot of silence. By then, Iñaki is already considered a "traitor" by the nationalist world.
