Hirugarren koadernoa

Synopsis

Two women—an actor and a filmmaker—sketch out a screenplay based on the diary that María Dolores González Katarain, alias “Yoyes”, kept during her exile in Mexico, between 1980 and 1985, after relinquishing her leadership role in the armed separatist group Eta. As the screenplay takes shape, Yoyes words are joined by shimmering references to other key women: Ulrike Meinhof, Simone de Beauvoir, Rocío Díaz Escobar, Alexandra Kollontai, Tina Modotti... Meanwhile, outside, darkness is falling.
