Maixabel

Acclaimed filmmaker Icíar Bollaín (Take My Eyes) returns with the inspiring true story of a politician’s widow who, in the face of unspeakable violence, takes a brave step toward forgiveness and healing. Eleven years after Maixabel Lasa’s husband was killed by the Basque terrorist group ETA, she receives a shocking request: one of the men responsible for his death wants to meet with Maixabel in the prison where he is serving his sentence. With a stand-out lead performance by Blanca Portillo (Volver), Maixabel is a tribute to the redemptive power of forgiveness and reconciliation.
