The teacher who promised us the sea

On 26 April 2025, the film series Cicle Gaudí will screen ‘El Mestre Que Va Prometre El Mar’, a moving film about a teacher who gave his students not only knowledge but also hope. The screening will take place in the presence of the director Patricia Font.


Based on the research that Ariadna (played by Laia Costa) does into the past of her grandfather, who disappeared during the Spanish Civil War, she discovers the story of Antoni Benaiges (Enric Auquer), a young teacher from Tarragona who worked as a teacher in a small town in Burgos.

With an innovative teaching method, the teacher inspired his students with a promise: to lead them to the sea.

The film is an appeal to humanity and a cinematic experience whose message is more relevant and important than ever in today's world.
