Since 1970, in the Atxarte Valley, located in the mountains of the Basque Country, a group of young climbers formed a community. Everything changed when one of them had a serious accident.

He then decided to create a curious tradition to celebrate life.

Today, that tradition struggles to survive against the passage of time and social change.

"One Day a Year" is much more than a climbing story; it is a moving portrait of a community in transition, a tale about friendship and the courage to live fully. A story that celebrates the spirit of the mountains and the importance of the traditions that bring us together.
