Spain 1977: After the end of the Franco regime, the country experiences one of the greatest moments of freedom in its history. In the prisons, however, there is no sign of the transition to democracy. Manuel, a young accountant, faces a disproportionately long prison sentence. He and his cellmate, Pino, join forces with other inmates to fight for their rights, sparking a revolution that shakes up the entire prison system. Inspired by true events, the gripping thriller MODELO 77 tells of friendship, solidarity and freedom. Opening film of the 70th San Sebastián Film Festival.
