El sopar

In a bold act of defiance against the repressive Spanish regime, Pere Portabella gathered five former political prisoners in a secret farmhouse for an evening that would become one of the most powerful anti-Franco statements of its time: El Sopar, a documentary film shot on the same day that Salvador Puig Antich was executed. Five men share a simple meal and discuss their experiences behind bars, but the true power of this intimate gathering lies in its unflinching portrayal of life under Franco's brutal rule. With cinematic simplicity and unyielding conviction, Portabella captures the humanity and pain of those who suffered for their convictions.
