Eskorbuto: anti-everything, but for real. A collage of interviews, political news, ETA, Franco and King Juan Carlos, the Eighties and the damnation of the left side of the Nervión river. The trio's debacle (nobody lived to tell the tale) narrated in their gloomy native landscape. They were demented, hopped-up guys that spat on the flags. This is a tribute to them.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Eskorbuto emerged from Barakaldo's left bank — the 'damned' industrial zone the film references, where Basque identity clashed with Spanish state violence and factory closures.
Director Kikol Grau was a friend and collaborator; this isn't official hagiography but survivor's guilt cinema. The 'nobody lived to tell the tale' line is literally true — he made this because they couldn't.
