Original production // Feature film saga
ASTUR
A six-film cinematic saga spanning more than three thousand years of history — six defining moments connected by memory, identity, sacrifice and the enduring bond between humanity and the land.
The project
ASTUR is born from a silent certainty: history is always written by empires, but memory is kept by the land. Through recurring human cycles, the land watches and leaves signs for those still able to listen — myths, symbols and invisible presences that outlive kings, flags and dictators. Developed since 2017 by Alonso Varela. The first film, The Roots Awaken, is set in first-century Asturias.
