Lauburu (2001)
Guernika, year 1937. The city is savagely bombed from the air by a battalion of fascist troops. During the bombardment, Republican artillery shoots down an Italian plane. The pilot manages to parachute very close to a village inhabited by three women. Badly wounded on the ground, he is going to be finished off by one of them, Ikerne. This one, however, feels disturbed by the man's presence, and in a purely impulsive act she decides to take him to the house's barn. The presence of the man in the house reveals the lethargic desire of the three women. But it will also bring out the small conflicts and contradictions that the harsh survival conditions in the house have generated. The solution finds its way between desire for man and hatred for the enemy.

Strong and Moving!
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
