Filmax has secured international rights to “Our Father, Our President,” the latest film from celebrated Catalan filmmaker Manel Huerga (“Salvador (Puig Antich)”). The Barcelona-based sales company will host a market screening for the feature at the upcoming Spanish Screenings at the Malaga Film Festival.

With his latest political drama, Huerga delves into the rise and fall of Jordi Pujol, one of the most influential and controversial figures in contemporary Catalonia and Spain.

Starring Josep M. Pou (“The Candidate”) as Pujol and Carme Sansa (“El 47”) as his wife Marta Ferrusola, the film portrays the complex legacy of its protagonist, whose confession to tax fraud in 2014 shook Catalonia and sparked debates on the interplay between power, corruption and public image. Alongside them are a talented supporting cast, including Pere Arquillué (“Lemon and Poppy Seed Cake”), Eduardo Lloveras (“Smiley”) and Alberto San Juan (“The People Upstairs”).
