, Basque native Mikel Gurrea’s debut feature “Suro” stems from Gurrea’s experience working in the cork forests north of Catalonia. He had just finished his studies and was at a loss when his then girlfriend’s parents suggested he work in the forests where they stripped cork from the trees. “I discovered a fascinating world that stayed with me; the work is tough but you’re in the middle of nature,” he said. “It was also a good workout!” he added.
Before making the taut drama, Gurrea had made a number of shorts and in all of them, including “Suro,” he explores a recurring theme on identity, “in all its forms” and the ideas that shape one, in the end.
