JONE, BATZUETAN

The film tells the story of Jone (20) coming of age. The young man lives his first love, and at the same time the effects of his father’s Parkinson’s suddenly accelerate.

In Bilbao’s Big Week, Jone will live between the sense of immortality she spends with Olga and the rejection of the Father’s peculiar way of crossing her illness.

Because of these events, Jon will know that that summer he’s becoming an adult who’s starting to be that little girl.
