Antes de Nós delves into the personal life and ideas of Alfonso Daniel Manuel Rodríguez Castelao, a central figure of the Xeración Nós — a Galician nationalist intellectual movement of the 1920s. Castelao would go on to become one of the most influential thinkers of 20th-century Galicia.

In her third feature film, Ángeles Huerta takes on a poignant and poetic exploration of memory, reconstructing not only Castelao’s intellectual and artistic legacy, but also the spirit of a generation that fought to preserve its cultural identity amid historical upheaval.
