In the middle of the Karakoram Mountains in Pakistan, Aniqa Bano gives birth to a deaf girl, Narjis. Until then, she was unaware not only of the rejection and stigma attached to these girls, but of their very existence, hidden away in the shame of their families. Sixteen years later, Narjis reads her mother's diaries, in which she describes the obstacles she had to overcome to build her school for the deaf.

In their native Basque Country, architect Oihane Ruiz and landscape designer Ane Barrutia explore the wood cycle, from forest to industry. In doing so, they seek answers to the question: what kind of forest will we leave to future generations? Who is defining tomorrow's forests today? ''Behind the Basque Green" offers a collective portrait of the current state of Basque forests, which are characterised by the decline of radiata pine, the spread of eucalyptus and the depletion of the land. In the face of a crisis-stricken model, leading figures in the timber industry reflect on roots, memory and the necessity of imagining alternative ways of inhabiting the landscape. The film is an immersive experience with original music by Maite Ruiz de Erentxun, created from the environment.
