Lasa eta Zabala



Pablo Malo : 2014
Lasa & Zabala

October 1983. Basque refugees Joxean Lasa and Joxi Zabala go missing in Bayonne. Their disappearance is followed by a wave of attacks perpetrated by GAL. Iñigo, the young lawyer representing the families of the two men, must accept a growing conviction that they will never be seen alive again. 1995. Twelve years later, Jesús García, a police officer from Alicante, following new revelations about GAL, reopens the case of two unidentified bodies that had been unearthed ten years before, murdered and buried in quicklime. His suspicions are confirmed and they are shown to be the missing Joxean and Joxi. The inquiry begins and Iñigo, with his young assistant, Fede, will endeavour to bring the murderers to trial, all the while in serious personal danger and faced with the dilemma of whether or not it is legitimate to fight foul play with the same weapons. Pablo Malo's third feature premiered in competition at San Sebastián International Film Festival 2014.
