Under the flags, the Sun
The Cervantes Institute, in collaboration with Fiacine, presents the Paraguayan documentary feature film Bajo las banderas, el Sol (Under the Flags, the Sun) (by Juanjo Pereira) as a candidate for the 2026 Oscar for Best International Feature Film. Synopsis:
120 hours of archive footage: this is what remains of Stroessner's 35-year dictatorship in Paraguay. Based on this collection of rare images found around the world, the film reconstructs the history of one of the longest-lasting dictatorships of the 20th century, whose effects are still felt today.
