Adapted from a real-life story in pre-Spanish Civil War era, the film 'The Teacher Who Promised the Sea' depicts teacher Antoni Benaiges advocating for a 'free expression' teaching method in 1936, facing suspicion and criticism from locals. The film aims to pay tribute to all educators and has garnered praise from Spanish audiences, with some even suggesting it as a must-watch for schools. The meticulous production involved months of casting child actors and archaeological teams to authentically recreate historical settings, making it a touching and inspiring portrayal of progressive teaching methods in a conservative era.
