Synopsis

'El vasco' presents us with the story of Mikel, a 34-year-old who lives in Bermeo (Bizkaia), and who is unemployed. His love life is also not better than his economic situation, because his girlfriend recently left him, and he feels that everything around him is meaningless. In fact, he has come to hate his homeland, Euskadi. Mikel needs a change of scene, to live in another place, to travel, in short, to leave the Basque Country. For this reason, he accepts the proposal of a distant relative whom he only knows through social networks, who offers him to go to Argentina to work in the company he is setting up. This proposal offers him the possibility of abandoning his land and disconnecting from it for a while, changing the environment. However, upon arriving in Argentina, Mikel finds himself in a town that is inhabited mostly by Basque descendants, and who, despite never having lived in the Basque Country, live the traditions of their town with great passion. Suddenly, the arrival of Mikel has an impact on all the inhabitants of the Argentine town who see him as a reference to whom to go to learn about Basque culture. Mikel also discovers that his contact company is not in the phase he said, so he will look for his home in the house of another close relative: his grandfather's sister. In that house he will meet Inés, the woman who takes care of the old and sick lady, and will help his grandfather's sister to remember certain aspects of memory that she already thought she had forgotten. Nothing, not even an ocean in between, has managed to separate Mikel from his home, the Basque Country.
