Throughout the entire film there are scenes in Orbaitzeta and in the Arce Valley. The Plaza de Saragüeta, then unpaved, is faithfully reflected when the protagonist arrives in town and is reunited with childhood friends.
We will continue towards Sierra de Abodi: a massif covered with grasslands that surrounds the Selva de Irati, one of the most spectacular beech-fir trees in Europe. The presence of numerous dolmens highlights the pastoral antiquity of the area.

Roncal, traditions such as Almadia Day, sports such as cross-country skiing or wild landscapes such as Larra-Belagua, are some of the distinctive marks of the place.
