Sinopsis
Often, it is under the harshest social conditions that the greatest stories emerge. This is the story of a group of teachers who founded a progressive school, the Mowgli School, during the Franco dictatorship. A challenge not only in educational terms, but also politically and culturally, to a totalitarian regime. And a valuable way to understand the roots of today’s political and cultural movement in Catalonia.
