From Me

About This Movie

From Me is a fascinating exploration of memory and attachment. The film’s pacing is deliberately slow, allowing the viewer to truly sit with Aitziber's father as he journeys to the city, clinging to the past and resisting change. The atmosphere is tinged with melancholy, capturing that feeling of nostalgia for a childhood that feels increasingly distant. The performances feel authentic, particularly the lead, whose emotional weight really draws you in. Gurrutxaga employs minimal practical effects, relying instead on the raw emotion and the stark beauty of the locations to ground the story. It’s a quiet film that lingers with you, making you reflect on what home really means and the lengths we go to preserve our memories.
