Ashes
Oier Plaza / Spain, Czech Republic, France / 2025 / 88 min
Inspired by a novel, Professor Unai Eguía begins investigating the mysterious disappearance of a Catalan Republican. At the same time, Antón Gandarias sets out to uncover the truth about his uncle, who never returned from World War II. Archives, letters, and memories lead both men to Prague, where their investigations unexpectedly converge. There, they uncover a hidden chapter of the war: the silent resistance of a crematorium director and his son. What begins as a personal investigation transforms into a journey into the depths of deportation, loss, and responsibility.
The film screening on June 2nd will take place in the Auditorium of the Spanish Embassy in Berlin, located at Lichtensteinallee 1. Managed by the Embassy’s Department of Culture and Science, this venue serves as a key meeting point for cultural exchange between Spain and Germany. They regularly host concerts, exhibitions, lectures, and cultural events that showcase Spanish art, culture, and diplomacy in Germany.
