    • Synopsis
    • OUR FATHER, OUR PRESIDENT explores the complex and contradictory politician Jordi Pujol, a key figure in contemporary Catalonia and Spain.

      The film unfolds around Pujol’s 2014 confession of a hidden family fortune in Andorra (a well-known tax haven), triggering a legal case that implicated his entire family. A case that was closely linked to corruption scandals in the Catalan government and in Pujol’s own party.

      Flashbacks reveal different sides of Pujol: the young Catholic fighting for Catalonia under Franco’s dictatorship, the ambitious leader who built Catalan institutions, and the patriarch who ignored his sons’ abuses of power. He was both a symbol of an era and a self-proclaimed martyr when the Banca Catalana scandal erupted.

      His regrets at being an absent father became mixed with dejection on seeing that his legacy -which was, above all, an ethical one- had been irrevocably damaged. Pujol had spent his whole career promoting his personal identification with Catalonia and so, when the scandal broke within the framework of the conflictive, Catalan independence process, it really was the fall of an icon for the Catalan people.
