Muga deitzen da pausoa Maialen Sarasua Oliden

Two women meet in an old house in San Sebastián. One is alive and is a filmmaker; the other is called Elvira Zipitria Irastorza who died in 1982. The filmmaker discovers that she lives in a place charged with an invisible presence, with multiple barely salvageable echoes. Some resonate from the Franco dictatorship, a time when Elvira, a pioneer in the teaching of Basque, created a clandestine school to teach the language. The former tenant of the house was an important figure in 20th-century Basque culture and politics. However, she remains in the shadows. The filmmaker, driven by the need to know more about her, begins to investigate. A search that is not easy at all that will soon become performative. Making the film represents the ultimate way of approaching Elvira.
