Kukuaren Kanta (2025)

Kukuaren Kanta quantifies the beauty of a tiny town in Navarre, which lives attentive to the rhythm of the seasons, on the sidelines of the urgency and waiting for the end of the world. The shooting of a community film serves as a pretext for the inhabitants of Lerga, the 'Cucos', to film themselves thinking about posterity. Songs to the Virgin of Ujué, rituals of faith, aerobic exercises in synchrony, work in the field and crafts or the preparation of a meal collaboratively are combined in the present but are projected towards the future, when the image will be footprint, memory of a life in common. Between resilience and invention, cinema builds senses of community and belonging.
