”Pi-ka-de-ro. Noun. 1. A riding school. 2. A public place which is used for sexual meetings.” The emotionless Gorka and Ane, who dreams of emigrating, get to know each other and promptly look for a pikadero. This turns out to be difficult however as both - at the end of their twenties - still live with their parents. The subtle comedy shows the dreams of Spanish youth in times of the economic plight in Spain. From the perspective of the Scottish director and with a good portion of dry humour, the film is about the life and love in the Basque region. World premiere in September at the film festival in San Sebastian.
