Klara Badiola

Born 1954-05-03 · Donostia / San Sebastián, Spain

Licenciada en Filología Románica por la Universidad de Deusto. Inició su andadura en el campo del arte dramático simultaneando docencia (tras licenciarse impartió clases de Lengua y Literatura) con interpretación en el grupo de teatro en euskera Xaribari. Estas representaciones le llevaron a realizar un programa infantil en Radio Popular. Trabajando en este programa se presentó al casting de La fuga de Segovia (1981) de Imanol Uribe, y obtuvo un papel. El éxito de la película le impulsó a abandonar la docencia para dedicarse de lleno a la interpretación. Ingresó entonces en Antzerti, la escuela de Arte Dramático del Gobierno Vasco. Desde entonces, ha participado en innumerables películas y aparecido en numerosas series y películas realizadas para televisión.

Nora poster
6.0

Nora is 30 years old; she lives with her Argentinian grandfather Nicolás and regularly takes care of her friend Meri's children. She writes the horoscope for the town newspaper, although her dream is to be a travel writer. When her grandfather dies, she inherits an old Dyane 6. Despite being a terrible driver, Nora will set out aimlessly on a road trip along the Basque coast so that her grandfather's ashes may finally rest beside those of her grandmother. The road will soon teach her that she's not a born traveller and that her dream had nothing to do with roving, but was only an excuse for the chance to be free, to grow, to close wounds and, for the first time, to find her own happiness.

La conquista de Albania poster
5.2

King Carlos II of Spain (r. 1665-1700) once sent his brother Luis to lead a military expedition into Albania and conquer that land for the Spaniards. Since Albania was a part of the dowry of Luis' wife, it seemed like a reasonable idea at the time. While that expedition and its final battle is the subject of this historical film, the scale involved can hardly do justice to the concept. The protagonists talk incessantly, and by the time they get down to the final grand battle, it turns out to be a skirmish between several dozen men.
