During the labour reforms of 2016, in a small French town, the Radial company closes its doors after a bitter strike. Jeansé, Juliette, Bruno, Christine and Pierre meet to ‘celebrate’ their insulting redundancy pay-off. On the way home, Bruno has a violent scuffle at a police roadblock. Non is an anthology film about the contagious and furious protest by a group of workers. People absorbed by madness in the struggle to keep the little dignity they have left.

There is a place where wild songs are sung that mimic the flight of birds; people for whom nothing else exists when they sing, who raise their eyes to the sky and let themselves be carried far away from here. This place is the Basque Country. It all started with a musician searching for new harmonies in these centuries-old songs. Then came the recording: a singer, the mountains, and between them, a microphone. And then everything became intertwined: the stories in the film, the stories in the songs, people's lives.

I thought the legend was marvellous and outrageous. But what meaning could we give it today? I publish an announcement offering to make a film based on that old story. Lili, Aña and Ekaitz reply with curiosity and an eagerness for cinema.
