"Dad?" Do you read us a story?” This naïve question is the one that starts this album and it seems that it will become more complicated as it progresses what seems such a simple and innocent thing.
The story of the wolf is the title of this book by Véronique Caplain and Grégoire Mabire and among us, among humans, if the wolf has always seen itself as an evil, strong and violent animal, which attacks and kills, think of the goats... Father Aker and puppies Antton and Xixili are the protagonists of this story.
The storytellers, the two who tell us the story through text and images, not only tell us the story between the father and the children, but also tell us the story of the book the father reads, creating a nice game that creates parallel situations between them. The father began to read: “It’s winter and it’s cold outside. In the forest, a wolf seeks food. He has spent days and days without eating and is hungry, so hungry, that his teeth start to tremble: KLA! KLA! KLA!” At the time, they heard a strange noise outside. KLA! KLA! KLA! (…) Back to our story: “The citizens are so afraid, so afraid, that they have locked the doors. KLIK KLAK!” At the time, they heard a strange noise in the house: KLIK KLAK!”
They feel that the situations in the book that the father reads are repeated in his house, in his surroundings; and the kids are frightened. "Will it be a wolf?" (…) Well! It is not possible. There is no wolf in our forests.”
And with Dad's response, it seems like kids are calming down.
However, the viewer will notice that despite giving that answer to the little ones, there is more and more anguish, more fear in the gaze of the male goat father.
In the end, of course, you look for the reader's smile. Those brave men who are afraid that their dad too can hide and hide under the cushions! And then the little ones, "It's a story. Just a story,” the book ends (the book they were reading under their arm, quiet, playing in the chair, with a face of wonder and curiosity, hidden under the cushions, looking at the father who only has half face to view).
In addition to this narrative that appears in history, there are many other things that are explained to us through the images. Descriptions of feelings and sensations, intention to channel the viewer’s most important gaze through the simplicity of spaces and places… and also the presence of dad at home, doing homework, cooking, washing and hanging clothes, assuming the children’s responsibility. I mean, this wolf story is a curious story that, in addition to having a sense of humor, you can look at many other things.

In 2021 we began to hear the first echoes of the Guggenheim Urdaibai project. The then General Manager Unai Rementeria told us that it would be done yes or yes. To reinforce his claims, he left 40 million euros “shielded” by the time the museums were built. There it is!... [+]

Epistemology, or theory of knowledge, is one of the main areas of philosophy, and throughout history there have been important debates about the limits and bases of our knowledge. Within this we find two powerful corridors that propose different ways of accessing knowledge: The... [+]
We learned this week that the Court of Getxo has closed the case of 4-year-old children from the Europa School. This leads us to ask: are the judicial, police, etc. authorities prepared to respond to the children’s requests? Are our children really protected when they are... [+]
Gure lurraldeetan eta bizitzetan sortzen diren behar, desio eta ekimenen inguruan gero eta gehiago entzuten dugu harreman eta proiektu publiko-komunitarioak landu beharraz, eta pozgarria da benetan, merkaturik gabeko gizarte antolaketarako ezinbesteko eredua baita. Baina... [+]
We have renewed the dialogue in the secretariat of the faculty, for the most auspicious: they are far away, for their enrollment, the times when only the students came. The trend has changed for a long time, and parents – most notably mothers – are taking an increasingly... [+]
The argument of a syllogism has three propositions, the last of which is necessarily deduced from the other two. It is with this deductive logic that I can analyze, for me, the long and traumatic socioecological conflict in Carpinteria that is taking place in Navarre.

I don't want my daughter disguising herself as a Gypsy in the caldereros. I don’t want Gypsy children at my daughter’s school to dress up as Gypsies in caldereros. Because being a gypsy is not a disguise. Because being a gypsy is not a party that takes place once a year, with... [+]
The road goes by steps, and I learned a little while ago that it seems to have already begun. But people also want to learn to fill that sentence with content. Alone we could achieve little, maybe even resignation as soon as we started. Gathering huge crowds can also complicate... [+]
