The San Agustín Cultural Center in Durango will host the screening of the documentary Aitatxo next Friday, at 6:30 PM, a work that deeply explores the grief of parents who have lost their children.

Admission to the screening will be free. The film, based on real events, tells the story of a family that loses two of their children and depicts the grieving process through conversations between a father and his deceased son.
This production reflects on pain, love, and the ability to move forward after a tragedy, also offering a message of hope and resilience. Aitatxo gives a voice to four parents who have lived this experience, focusing on an aspect of grief that often remains in the background.
Furthermore, the work aims to break gender stereotypes surrounding suffering, providing a broader view of the emotional impact of loss. Following the screening, the documentary's director, Anakotz Lasarte, will participate in a discussion with the audience to share impressions and foster a space for reflection and dialogue.
