Prison 77

Based on the story of a real-life, audacious jail break attempt, Alberto Rodríguez’s gritty prison thriller is set in a notorious institution in 1970s Barcelona. There, a young accountant facing embezzlement charges turns to an organisation fighting for the rights of prisoners. As the country at large takes steps towards democracy following the death of Franco, so too does the prisoners’ fight for better conditions - with much at stake during a time of unprecedented change.
