The Portraitist (2013)

"A documentary on freedom and childhood. The history of a dream truncated by dictatorship. The tale of a teacher killed and forgotten at home, whose legacy reappears after decades on the other side of the ocean."

During the 30s, the young Catalan teacher Antoni Benaiges takes office at a rural school in northern Spain. Antoni has a simple project: he wants to teach his pupils to write and to be free through the use of the printing press. But his dream ends very soon. An individual and collective story in memory of the victims of the Franco's repression.
