Prison 77

Manuel, is a young accountant convicted to an excessive 20-year sentence for having embezzled the equivalent of 1,200 Euros. Aided by his cellmate Pino, Manuel will become the leader of a movement that will unite all prisons in the fight for freedom and change prison laws and society forever.

Following Marshland and Smoke & Mirrors, the award-winning director Alberto Rodríguez is back with Prison 77, a powerful dive into the Spanish penitentiary system after the end of the dictatorship in 1977, which was the opening film at the San Sebastian Film Festival. Written by Rodríguez and his regular collaborator, Rafael Cobos, Prison 77 delivers a richly populated time capsule starring Miguel Hearrán (from Netflix success La Casa de Papel) and Javier Gutiérrez (Below Zero) in what is destined to become the hit Spanish film of 2022 at the box office.
