Tasio
by Montxo Armendáriz, Spain , 1984, 96 mins
Tasio has worked as a charcoal-burner in a small village in Navarre since the age of 14. Life changes, but the mountain remains the same: steep and majestic. The mountain was the scene of his childhood games, but it was also the place where he found bread for his family. When he became an adult, he added poaching to charcoal. Although this is a time of rural exodus, of emigration to the cities in search of a better future, Tasio prefers to stay and live in the mountains, in absolute solitude to safeguard his freedom.
