The Agrupación de Lengua y Cultura Españolas de Genève organizes this screening of "Celda 211" (2009), a gripping thriller directed by Daniel Monzón. During a prison riot, a young prison officer becomes trapped inside and must pose as an inmate in order to survive. A high-stakes situation where lives are at risk.
Featuring outstanding performances by Luis Tosar and Alberto Ammann, the film has become a landmark of contemporary Spanish cinema. Netflix has recently released a series inspired by the same story, making this screening an excellent opportunity to discover or rediscover the original film on the big screen.
This screening is part of the XXVII Spanish Film Cycle. Admission is free. The screening is intended for audiences aged 16 and over and is not suitable for children.
