Almost two decades ago, the Itoiz reservoir flooded seven villages and three nature reserves on the slopes of the Navarrese Pyrenees. The environmental group Solidari@s con Itoiz documented the struggle against its construction on video. Today, those who were there dream of the land that remains underwater. Their voices and actions intertwine to convey an individual and collective grief that continues to the present.
