Screenings
Ariadna (Laia Costa) discovers that her grandfather has long been looking for the remains of his father, who disappeared in the Civil War. Determined to help him, he travels to Burgos, where they have exhumed a mass grave in which he could be buried. During his stay there, he will learn about the story of Antoni Benaiges (Enric Auquer), a young teacher from Tarragona who before the war was a teacher of his grandfather. Through an innovative pedagogical method Antoni inspired his students and made a promise: to take them to see the sea.
On 24 August, the screening at Kino Tapiola is an age-restricted alcohol serving screening for individuals aged 18 and above.
