El Desencanto

The widow and three sons of Leopoldo Panero, a poet lauded by the Franquist regime, gradually uncover the workings of family-inflicted and political oppression. The “good” family, its values and its father figure decompose in front of the camera. “The Paneros changed into fictional beings, whose existence I refused to admit outside of the editing room.” (Jaime Chávarri)
