🎥 Screening: Spanish drama THE TEACHER WHO PROMISED THE SEA by Patricia Font on Thursday June 12th at 18:45.

🎬 THE TEACHER WHO PROMISED THE SEA: In 1935, young Antoni Benaiges is appointed as the new teacher at a small school in a remote village in Burgos, Spain. Education was traditionally strict and traditional, but the idealistic Benaiges takes a very different approach: he lets his pupils think, fantasise and dream for themselves. He also promises to take them to the sea one day. 75 years later, Ariadna, great-granddaughter of one of Benaiges' pupils, discovers the forgotten story behind that promise. Searching for the grave of her great-grandfather, one of the many victims of the Spanish Civil War, she also manages to find out what happened to Benaiges.
