About the film
In 1935, a young teacher named Antoni Benaiges (Enric Auquer) arrives in a remote village in the Spanish province of Burgos. His classroom is filled with boys and girls between the ages of six and twelve, children who have only ever known education as something rigid and oppressive. But Benaiges brings something different. With him, he carries a printing press, and he invites his students to write — not just lessons, but their dreams, their hopes, their visions of the future. One day, he makes them an extraordinary promise: that he will take them to see the sea a vast, mysterious world none of them has ever known.
