Synopsis
A member of the Autonomous Anti-Capitalist Commandos, José Miguel Etxeberría, better known as "Naparra", disappeared in the 1980s in the Basque Country. Later, the parapolice group Spanish Basque Battalion recognised the crime. When they found the victim's car, his father came running. When they asked him what he wanted to do with it, he took the steering wheel so as not to return empty-handed. It is precisely this object that has been the symbol of their suffering, as Naparra's remains have still not been found and, given the passivity of the institutions, a large part of the burden of the search has fallen on the family, who are passing on the steering wheel as an inheritance. After several unsuccessful excavations of graves where she thought her son might be, his mother died without having received any kind of response. His brother, Eneko, is waiting for the next one, in case he finally turns up. However, even if he did, they still do not know who killed him, who ordered it or why.
The documentary was written and directed by Iñaki Alforja and Ibán Toledo. In the case of the former, this is his third production in this genre, along with 'Ezkaba, la gran fuga de las cárceles franquistas' (Ezkaba, the great escape from Franco's prisons) and 'Oskara' (Oskara).
