Electrodomésticos is an elegant yet powerful depiction of the post Spanish Civil War era, where class divisions lay bare those who can afford to eat a decent meal and those who can not. Josu is an inexperienced electrician, tasked with installing an oven in the home of an upper-class Basque couple. He’s completely captivated. But the couple, though they seem to have it all, are in a prison of their own. Mesmerizing in its subtlety and sinister intimations, Electrodomésticos reveals the poverty and loneliness of this era.

Road Movie antzeko bat Euskal Herrian barrena. Uliak bere sorterria erakutsi nahi dio bikotekideari, eta ibilbide lasai bat prestatzen dute, udan zehar, bigarren mailako errepideetan, Gustavoren BMW berrian egiteko. Dena ez da horren lasaia, ordea. Uliak badu aitortu gabeko sekreturik eta bidean topaturiko ezagunen batek ekaitza iragartzen du bikotearen harmonian, zeruko laino beltzen antzera.
