At the height of World War II, while the Third Reich was winning one victory after another, a German film-maker and his team embarked on an unusual project: shooting a film about the life of the Basque people.
Once the conflict was over, the film was lost and its director fell into oblivion… until the discovery half a century later of the only existing copy of “Im lande der Basken” (In the land of the Basques); an enigmatic documentary showing these people from the racial viewpoint of the Nazis, and which is linked to the plan to forge an alliance with the Basque nationalist movement and representatives of other ethnic groups in order to build a new territorial order in Europe.
Seventy years later, these dark events and their protagonists are brought to light thanks to the testimony of their children, the discovery of unpublished documents and the memory of surviving witnesses of an era in which the dominion of the swastika spread from the Volga to the Bidasoa.
