The short film Eguneroko legez, written and directed by Julen Duhau from Tolosa, will soon be presented in Bilbao. This production has brought together numerous actors and technical staff from the Tolosaldea region, and its premiere is scheduled for April 20th at Bizkaia Aretoa, as part of the EHU Kultura's Udaberri Kulturala cycle. Following the premiere, the creators intend to also screen the short film in Tolosaldea.
This fictional work focuses on the daily lives of four women who meet on the same bus on their way to work. During the ten-minute journey, simple conversations, silences, and small gestures take on a special significance. According to the film's creators, in that brief moment, in addition to alleviating the weight of routine, a space of sisterhood and protection is created, revealing the bonds that emerge in the depths of everyday life.

These conversations address topics such as precarious working conditions, caregiving, aging, loneliness, and gender inequality. However, the film does not make a direct accusation; instead, through everyday and natural dialogues, it brings to light a collective voice that is often unheard. Filming took place at Laskorain ikastola in Tolosa and around Naparzubia on January 30th, 31st, and February 1st.
The project was initiated by young Audiovisual Communication students at the Leioa campus. Although they initially lacked economic resources, they managed to carry it out thanks to a scholarship from EHU Kultura. The creators have expressed their gratitude to the local agents and businesses that supported the project, including Gozona, Mahala, Insalus, Botarri Jatetxea, Zeu ileapaindegia, Eguzkilore kafetegia, 66 taberna, Kopibat denda, and Laskorain ikastola, whose contribution was fundamental to the film's production.
