Set in Spanish Basque Country and taking place over thirty years during the separatist terrorism of ETA, Patria tells a story through the eyes of two families divided by the violent conflict. It follows Bittori and her family, whose lives implode the day ETA kills her husband, Txato, on his doorstep. The relationship with her intimate friend Miren, whose son belongs to an ETA command, also comes to an end. Both families must deal with grief and moral contradictions while life goes on. |

This is a good show from Spain. The English subtitles are professionally done, although at times they do need some quick reading. The first episode is a bit confusing and the story isn’t completely obvious until the second episode. So I recommend you watch at least the first 2 before passing judgement.
