300 Oaks

Description

The film addresses the difficulty of maintaining one's identity in a rapidly changing world. In the Arantzazu crypt, 23 chefs from Mahaia Kolektiboa collaborate with artists to confront this pressing issue. The documentary reflects on how the construction of the first farmhouses required 300 oaks, and as the natural resource diminished, communities adapted by shifting from wood to stone. Throughout the film, the participants engage in a series of immersive experiences that highlight their cultural heritage and food traditions. They share their perspectives and practices, illustrating the transformation of identity over time. As the filmmakers document this gathering, the chefs and artists work together, fostering dialogue and creativity while attempting to answer the question of sustaining identity today.
