Ten Years of Ikusmira Berriak: 'Fantasía' (Aitor Merino, 2021)

The Ten Years of Ikusmira Berriak cycle, jointly organised by the Festival, Tabakalera and Elias Querejeta Zine Eskola, proposes an exploration and celebration, in retrospect, of the ten years of the Ikusmira Berriak film residency. This session will feature a screening of the feature film Fantasía (2021), directed by Aitor Merino.

Synopsis: Siblings Amaia and Aitor are about to turn fifty. They have no children. From a very young age they have lived apart from their parents, Kontxi and Iñaki, now retired. One summer they all meet up on the cruise ship Fantasí­a. On the high seas time seems to have stopped, but beyond the horizon reality continues to forge its way ahead tirelessly.
