Los aitas
A tender dramedy from director/co-writer Borja Cobeaga (Spanish Affair), Breaking Walls is a comical and heartwarming road movie starring Juan Diego Botto (The Room Next Door), Quim Gutiérrez, and Ramón Barea (Lullaby).
1989, on the outskirts of Bilbao. A children’s rhythmic gymnastics team has the chance to compete in a tournament in Berlin, and with the girls’ mothers unable to take time off work, it falls on their fathers to reluctantly chaperone them on the trip. However, there is one problem: these dads have little experience or enthusiasm for the sport, let alone much interest in their daughters.
The families have all been hit hard by the loss of industrial factory jobs and must re-think their roles as parents, made all the more apparent as they head to Berlin amidst a time of historic change. During this long and emotional bus journey from Bilbao to Berlin, the fathers question their roles as parents and joyously rediscover the bond they share with their daughters.
