Azaña

Azaña tells the story of the last president of the Second Spanish Republic after the military uprising that led to the tragic Civil War. The film recreates and humanizes the life of the distinguished political figure, Azaña, until his last days in Montauban through the harshness of exile.

Directed by Santiago San Miguel, Azaña leans on a strong ensemble — Jordi Dauder, Mario Pardo, Rosa Renom — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2009.
