An emotionally resonant and satisfying drama set in the lush Basque countryside, Ander has been the toast of the film festival circuit since its award-winning debut at the Berlin Film Festival last year.

Ander, a farmer in his 40s, lives with his mother and sister. His existence is simple and monotonous, tending the fields and working part-time at a local bicycle factory, and it’s not helped by his mother’s nagging that he should be partnered off, like his sister, 14 years his junior, whose nuptials are forthcoming. When Ander breaks his leg, he hires José, a young Peruvian man, to assist with the farm-work, despite the protestations of his mother, who distrusts foreigners. This is a world where everyone knows their place – men are expected to act in a certain way and women fall in line – but José’s arrival disrupts the delicate balance. The attraction between the two men is palpable, and it’s only a matter of time before desire overwhelms them, but at what cost? (PT)

Official selection, Berlinale Panorama 2009

Presented by La Mirada Film Festival
