Ana Díez’s rarely screened debut explores a turbulent period in Spanish and Basque history through two old friends, one returning to a home he no longer recognises, the other who never left.

The film explores the impact of ETA, the armed organisation that waged a violent campaign for Basque independence, as well as the devastating effects of heroin addiction. It portrays people caught between political violence, social marginalisation and a rapidly changing Basque society.

Released in 1988, Ander eta Yul won Ana Díez the Goya Award for Best New Director in 1989, making her a pioneering figure in New Basque Cinema and the movement’s first woman director.
