Asier and I

Asier and I, A friendship beyond ideals

Aitor Merino, the director of this documentary, is a very close friend of Asier Aranguren, with whom he grew up in the convulsive streets of the Basque Country. 

But one day Asier decided to join ETA, an organization that carried out acts of terrorism in its goal of achieving independence from Spain. 

How to face this unexpected decision and how could one continue to be a friend of someone you love but with whom you do not necessarily share his political vision? 

Merino answers these questions in a film that is as entertaining as it is sober in a time when tolerance and territorial demands are volatile concepts in Iberian lands.
