What's it about

" In this film, night will fall 14 times. We will count them ". Thus begins this nocturnal and musical journey, a drift through the ideology of the Basque artist Jorge Oteiza, in which one night dominates: the one that takes place in the basilica of Arantzazu. There the longest night is lived, alongside the sanctuary's organ, where filmmaker Oskar Alegria locks himself in to tell a succession of 14 nights to pianist Iñar Sastre, whom he summons to imagine through the keys images that the musician will not see. From this challenge arises a collection of 14 moons, 14 darknesses, 14 mysteries that make up the same frieze. 14, like the number of apostles that Oteiza managed to place on the façade of that very place, and 14 because, as he himself said, " there was no room for more ".
