The Teacher Who Promised the Sea

Ariadna discovers that, for a log time now, her grandfather has been searching for the remains of his father, who disappeared in the Spanish Civil War. Determined to help him, she travels to Burgos, where they are exhuming a mass grave in which he could be buried. During her stay there, she will learn the story of Antoni Benaiges, a young teacher from Tarragona who, before the war, was her grandfather’s schoolmaster. Using an innovative pedagogical method, Antoni inspired his students and made them a promise: he would take them to see the sea. (Seminci - Valladolid International Film Festival)
