El viaje a ninguna parte [Voyage to Nowhere]

Instituto Cervantes in Manchester organises "Cinema Days: learn Spanish with cinema", a series of study sessions for students of Spanish and film lovers with the teacher Ana Valbuena, with whom those attending will be able to learn and enjoy the best films in Spanish.

Following an introduction in accessible Spanish and a full screening of El viaje a ninguna parte (Fernando Fernán Gómez, 1986), with English subtitles, attendees will be able to practise their Spanish language skills using a specially designed study pack on film's main topics.

A conversational level in Spanish is recommended.

Synopsis

Spain under Franco, the 1940s. In a travelling theatre troupe, whose members are loosely related, although none of them can quite remember how, love and heartbreak unfold. Painful farewells and joyful reunions take place, as work becomes entangled with romance, financial struggles with family tensions, and hunger with the dream of success.
