Euskadi, Summer 1982
Directed by Otar Iosseliani, 1982-3.

During our trip to the Basque Country, we attended the party of God (Fete Dieu) Helette and the presentation of Pastoral played and sung by the people of Pagol.

This film is a tribute to the Basque shepherds and farmers, honest men, women and children, the proud and courageous people who, throughout their history, have defended their independence and managed to preserve their identity and their language, the oldest in Europe. — Otar Iosseliani, Kartvelian (Georgian) director.

Suzuko Tamura, a Japanese linguist who studied many languages and compiled dictionaries, she became interested in the Basque language, made a great contribution to Japanese-Basque cultural relations, converted to Christianity and took a Basque middle name – Ainura. ❤️
