The Long Holidays of 1936

Directed by Jaime Camino

To coincide with ¡Viva! Spanish and Latin American Film Festival, we’re pleased to present this classic from late Franco era Spain. Set in a middle-class holiday resort near Barcelona at the time of the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, the film tells the story of a bourgeois family caught up in the drama of the conflict. The experiences of the holidaymakers form an engrossing microcosm of the developing political situation.
