Synopsis

Modelo Prison. Barcelona, 1977. Manuel, a young accountant, imprisoned and awaiting trial for embezzlement, faces a sentence of 6 to 8 years, a disproportionate punishment for the crime committed. Together with his cellmate Pino, he joins forces with COPEL, a collective fighting for the rights of ordinary prisoners and amnesty. A war for freedom breaks out that will bring the Spanish prison system to its knees. If things are changing outside, they’ll have to do the same inside. A tale of friendship, solidarity and freedom, inspired in true events.

Critics' reviews

"A brutal 1970s-set Spanish prison drama (...) 'Prisoner 77' has a feeling of 'Hunger' in its depiction of horrible injustice, although it’s more conventional jailhouse film-making in other aspects."

Fionnuala Halligan: Screendaily
