Film Discussion: 'The Teacher Who Promised the Sea'

Join us for a thought-provoking screening of the film 'The Teacher Who Promised the Sea,' directed by Patricia Font. This 2023 drama follows Ariadna, who learns that her grandfather has been searching for the remains of her father, who disappeared during the Spanish Civil War. Her journey takes her to Burgos, where a mass grave is being exhumed, potentially revealing her father's fate. Along the way, she uncovers the inspiring story of a young teacher from Tarragona who, prior to the war, motivated his students through an innovative teaching method and made a heartfelt promise to take them to see the sea. After the film, we will engage in a discussion to explore the themes presented and share our impressions, fostering a deeper understanding of both the narrative and its historical context.
