“The infinite trench It is a film that talks about us, about our current moment," says María Guerra. "Fear has taken over societies and what this complex love story teaches us is that we must get rid of fears to move forward. The Basque directors, Jon Garaño, Jose Mari Goenaga and Aitor Arregi manage in their fourth film to show a story of what Spain has been like in recent decades through two wonderful performances by Belén Cuesta and Antonio De la Torre. For all these values, along with its successful visual presentation, the Association of Film Reporters of Spain wants to recognize The infinite trench with the Feroz Zinemaldia Award.”
