Víctor Iriate’s first feature film, Foremost by Night explores a particularly painful problem: the forced adoption of children by the Franco regime in Spain. In this film, the plot revolves around Vera’s search for her biological son, whom she gave up for adoption because she couldn’t afford to raise him. When she enquires at the necessary institutions, she is told that her file doesn’t exist. Her investigation leads her to Cora and her adopted son Egoz.
