Spanish Film Night – The Teacher Who Promised The Sea
Fri 16 May 2025, 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm
In 1935, Antoni Benaiges is hired as a teacher in a small, isolated village in Burgos, Spain. There, he stablishes an intense relationship with his students, a group of young boys and girls between the ages of six and twelves, to whom he makes a promise : to take them to see the sea for the first time in their lives. 75 years later, the granddaughter of one of those students discovers the wonderful story hidden behind a promise that was never fulfilled.
