Why “BI ARNAS” (two breaths)?

This documentary tells the story of two breaths: on the one hand Iratxe Sorzabal's breath; on the other, her mother's, Mari Nieves Diaz. Both, each on their own way, have been suffocated by torture. The former has lived in person how her breath left her body. The latter has felt it through the body of the daughter who was once part of her. This story wants to narrate those two invisible breaths, their suffocation, their double suffering. This is the story of Iratxe's agony, heard mainly through the mother's voice and memories, and supported by her daughter's own voice when possible.

Zergatik bi arnas?

Historia honetan bi arnas kontatzen dira; Iratxe Sorzabalena eta Mari Nieves Diazena, bere amarena. Biek ala biek, bakoitzak bere modura, torturak eragiten duen arnas falta sufritu dute, beste hainbat sufrikariorekin batera. Lehenak, bere azalean pairatu du bizitzarekiko behin-behineko etena. Bigarrenak, berriz, bere parte izan zen alabaren gorputzean. Bi arnas ikusezin horiek ikustarazi nahi ditu historia honek, bi itolarri horiek, sufrimendu bikoitz hori. Kasu honetan, amaren ahotik eta bizipenetatik, baina alabak bere azalean sufritutakoa ardatz hartuta, eta ahal den neurrian Iratxeren ahotsa ere entzunaraziz.
