WRONG PLACE\u2026 <\/strong><\/div>\n

After participating in a pro-separatist march that turned violent in January of 1992, 21-year-old Lorenzo Lartaun Izcoa is wrongly charged with the fatal bombing of a police station in his home town. Irun is a small city located in the heart of the Basque country, trapped between France and Spain, and struggling for independence. Lartaun finds himself on the Spanish Secret Service\u2019s \u201cmost wanted\u201d list, branded an active member of the Basque terrorist group ETA.<\/p>\n

He has no choice but to flee his country.<\/p>\n

Two years later, Lartaun\u2019s childhood friend bursts back into his life. In exchange for a \u201csmall favor,\u201d he offers him a passport and the chance to return to Europe under a new identity. Lartaun seizes the opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u2026WRONG TIME<\/strong><\/p>\n

Back in Europe, hiding away in a commune in the French Pyrenees Mountains, Lartaun meets Faustine, a young French environmentalist. As their relationship renews his belief in a future worth fighting for, Lartaun realizes, albeit too late, that the favor he owes his friend is not so \u201csmall\u201d after all.<\/p>\n

FREEDOM COMES AT A STEEP PRICE
\nHOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO PROTECT YOURS?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Fermin Muguruza, well-known Basque musician and film maker, writes about Estimated Time of Arrest: \u201cA beloved homeland, mountainous landscapes, devotion, action, love, celebration, friendship, music, commitment, vengeance, dignity, and desire for freedom and independence all turn out to be explosive ingredients when mixed together and left to simmer in the pressure cooker known as the Basque Country. Also called Euskal Herria<\/em>, it is a place that spans the south of France and the north of Spain. It is the country of the Basque people, those who speak Euskara, the Basque language.<\/p>\n

Delphine Pontvieux is a connoisseur of the essential ingredients that comprised the Basque Country in the \u201880s and \u201890s. If we add her to the mix as \u201cetxekoandre<\/em>,\u201d or Executive Chef, the recipe becomes perfect, stewing over her creative flame. She brings Estimated Time of Arrest<\/em> to a mouthwatering emotional flavor, serving a complex dish of literary mastery.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
