Mikel's Death
Directed by Imanol Uribe
Produced by José Esteban Alenda, Aiete Films
A somber, intimate examination of a man's life and death told through the perspectives of those closest to him, grappling with identity, tradition, and loss in Franco-era Spain.
Opening at the funeral mass for Mikel, we flashback to those that played a part in Mikel's life and death; his estranged wife, his traditional Basque mother, a female impersonator and friend to Mikel in his coming out, and even the local priest.
