No, wait!

Sh*t.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

Stupid picture!

...something like that.

Hey, Henry.

Marco.

I wondered when you'd show up.

Like a bad penny.

Yes.

I heard your car was bombed.

But I thought it was you

telling your usual stories, but now...

And I heard that you've been

secretly writing articles for the fascists.

Yes.

It's dangerous

when you cross the lines, Marco.

You get yourself shot.

If you write what they want,

you never get shot.

Didn't know you were here.

Hey, marta.

I'm so glad to see you again.

Glad to see you, too.

George!

How's New York?

Where is my cheque?

Henry, we have

cheaper journalists, you know.

Yeah, but none of them

is named Henry howell.

They'll have names of their own

if I give them a chance.

Listen, child star Shirley temple

released a toy collection with her face.

And all the papers opened with that.

- There's a war on, Henry...

- All right. Here's what we can do.

I've got a hand-drawn battle map.

Make a great illustration. But...

Speaking of illustrations,

how about a week in Paris, George?

Picasso is preparing a new exhibition.

Let's do Picasso.

Together.

He'll talk to me, you know.

Nothing about Paris.

Bergara. Do you remember that article?

That's war. And war sells, Henry.

I want war! I...

Absolute perfection.

Come in.

Teresa?

These are the new journalists.

Marco navas.

He works for a Portuguese newspaper.

And these two are the ones

with the car that broke down.

No, it didn't break down. It was bombed.

Marta vonier, photographer from le figaro.

And Henry howell,

from the New York herald tribune. American.

I studied your writing at college. I...

I think I've read it all.

Short. Sharp.

Very inspiring.

Your style has evolved over time, hasn't it?

Well, I'm still a growing boy.

L just read this article of yours about bergara.

You write of a battle at a castle

where our soldiers

were firing from the battlements.

I think it was a pretty good piece.

It's quite interesting

because there are no castles in bergara.

Why? Why did you write it?

Is it even about the truth any more?

Well, maybe i

got the name of the town wrong.

There's so many.

Don't play with us.

For you, it's a story.

But for us, it's life and death.

Obey the rules, mr howell.

They're simple enough even for you.

I'm sorry. You are?

We've got a question.

We lost everything in the explosion.

So, we need new papers.

We will let you know your status.

And you have to wait.

In the meantime, we can provide you

with a camera and some films,

so you can continue your work.

But the freedom of movement

is restricted in this area.

Stay away from the border.

So, please...

Thank you.

He was born in Pamplona-Iruña (Spain) and worked for many years as a creative interior designer and airbrushing specialist before moving into the audio-visual sector as a director specialized in Digital Animation. He worked for several years as a digital artist as well as participating in the design of several sets for various films. He then completed his education in Computer Generated Imaginary CGI in Madrid, while he took charge of editing the short film "Searching for the polar decline" and all its digital effects. Later he started working into a creative team dedicated to the creation of digital content for museums and multimedia shows, becoming director of several very successful audio-visual works. Thanks to that he got a very relevant post as he became responsible for conducting the special effects and digital archaeology recreations for museums in the Basque Country like the Oiasso Museum of the Romanization in Irun or the Pre-industrialization Museum in Legazpi among others. He became a freelance and worked with artist Javier Longobardo in the production of 3D musical videos with bands such as Ladytron, The Planets or MUM among others. He embarked on his first animation film "Gernika" along with the painter J.L. Zumeta which was released in 2012 on the 75th anniversary of the bombing of Gernika in the Victoria Eugenia Theatre during the celebration of the X Human Rights Film Festival in Donostia-San Sebastian. The film was also selected in numerous international film festivals and got several awards including the award for "Best Film on Disarmament" at the Um Film per la Paz Festival in Italy and the award for "Best Basque Short Film" at the Festival Cortada of Vitoria-Gasteiz. He also produced the exhibition "From Canvas to display” about his short film Gernika in Donostia-San Sebastián, which was widely acclaimed by the attending audience of over 4000 visitors. Nowadays he combines his work as a freelance in special effects for films with his expertise in videomapping creation. The commission by the Government of Navarra to produce and direct the Videomapping work projected onto the facade of the Mirador at the Olite Castle for the opening ceremony at the Classical Theatre Festival 2014.
