Maixabel

Eleven years after her husband Juan María Jaúregui was assassinated by the terrorist group ETA, a woman called Maixabel Lasa agrees to a request to meet with one of the men responsable for such cold-blooded murder, who is in prison, in an attempt to find some kind of restorative justice. Therefore Maixabel will have a meeting with this man in the Nanclares de la Oca prison in Álava, where he is serving a sentence after being separated from the terrorist gang. Although at first she is in deep pain when she remembers the irreparable loss of her husband, she finally decides to have a face-to-face interview with this man, one of the people who ended up with the man who was her partner since she was 16 years old. When Maixabel is asked why she has agreed to have this meeting, she answers that everyone deserves a second chance, even one of the people who took her husband's life.

The film is directed by Icíar Bollaín, who has also been in charge of writing the script with Isa Campo. Blanca Portillo plays the role of Maixabel Lasa, while Luis Tosar plays Ibon. The cast is completed with María Cerezuela, Urko Olazabal, Tamara Canosa, Mikel Bustamante, Marxelo Rubio and Arantxa Aranguren. Alberto Iglesias is in charge of the soundtrack of the film.
