DANTZA

A courageous and disruptive musical film without dialogue, whose soundtrack is composed of traditional dances from the Basque Country, in northern Spain. Set to the rhythm of atavistic musical pieces and with images overflowing with plasticity and beauty, the director, Telmo Esnal (assistant director to Álex de la Iglesia in «La comunidad» and «Crimen ferpecto»), brings to life a hypnotic and fascinating story about the evolution of human beings and the cycle of life.»

The storm breaks after a hard day’s work in the fields. When the rain eases off Fruit grows and becomes the apples which give life to cider. Then comes the time to harvest, offer toasts and celebrate love. A story about the cycle of life and death. And dance is the language chosen to tell its tale. A poetic film to tradition, the land, its people and customs.
