Unha mirada ao impacto do conflicto vasco de España nas persoas ordinarias dos dous lados, como a viúva dun home asasinado pola ETA que volve ao seu pobo natal despois do alto ao fuego de 2011 entre o grupo separatista e o goberno español, e a súa antiga amiga íntima, a nai dun terrorista preso.
The birth of the Basque terrorist gang ETA and its first attack, of which José Antonio Pardines, a Guardia Civil traffic officer, was the victim.
The Basque Country, Spain, 1980s. In an atmosphere of tension and fear, where the harassment of separatist nationalism and the violence of ETA terrorist gang are a constant in life, Eloy, a young civil guard from Madrid, arrives at the Intxaurrondo base, in San Sebastián, as a volunteer; a hostile environment that causes havoc among his companions: alcoholism, depression and suicides reign. The so-called “Northern Syndrome” kills as much as bombs do.
