Los aitas

'Los Aitas' is set in the late 1980s, in the working-class outskirts of Bilbao. A group of girls prepares as a rhythmic gymnastics team to participate in a championship that will be held in Berlin. The mothers cannot accompany their daughters, so, due to this impossibility, the fathers are the ones tasked with this responsibility.

These men do not seem very interested in the trip, nor in the sport, and some might even think that they are not interested in their own daughters. Together, they begin this long journey in which they will discover a new way of being fathers. All while the Berlin Wall falls.

This film stars Juan Diego Botto, whom we have seen in 'En los márgenes' and more recently in a small role in 'La habitación de al lado', Quim Gutierrez who has starred in films like 'Te quiero, imbécil' or 'Al otro barrio'. They are joined by Iñaki Ardanaz, who has been part of the cast of 'Ane' and 'Ana de día' and, finally, Mikel Lodosa, who also worked with Ardanaz in 'Ane' and has been involved in other projects like 'Modelo 77'.

The film is directed by Borja Cobeaga, a Basque filmmaker who already has experience in comedy as his filmography includes projects like 'Pagafantas' and 'Ocho apellidos vascos', a film for which he worked as a screenwriter. It hits theaters on March 21, 2025.
