Film Lens
The documentary focuses on Haize, who lost her father, Mikel Goikoetxea, before she turned two. Mikel, a member of the ETA, was killed by the GAL, a rival group. With no memories of him, Haize begins to seek out information about her father 25 years later. She collects testimonies from people who knew him, gradually uncovering details about his life and the political context surrounding his death.
Through these personal accounts, the film presents a narrative that intertwines family history with the wider effects of political violence in Spain. Haize's quest for understanding her father's legacy serves as a lens to examine the impact of terrorism on individual lives and the lingering effects of such violence on families and communities.
