Lutxi eta zuhaitza

This documentary recounts the story of the ETA militant Lucía Urigoitia, who died in 1987 in Pasaia at the hands of the Civil Guard, in circumstances which remain unclear. Based on the account given by the Urigoitia family's lawyer and the forensic scientist involved in the case, the narrative pores over the contradictions and doubts surrounding the process. The tree stands out in the documentary as a symbol of the need for a complete memory, as opposed to the idea of one single memory.

Directed by Lander Garro, Lutxi eta zuhaitza leans on a strong ensemble — Olaia Aguayo, Xabi «Jabato» López, Alain Lersundi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2026.
