Cinco Lobitos’ is the director’s debut feature film, which tells the story of Amaia (Laia Costa), a woman who has just become a mother and realises that she doesn’t quite know how to be one. When her partner goes away for work, she decides to return to her parents’ house (Susi Sánchez and Ramón Barea), in a beautiful coastal village in the Basque Country.
