Movie description:
Comedy drama set in parochial school during last years of Franco’s Spain. The schoolboys don’t know who Azaña was, and even mispronounce his name, but they use it as a rallying cry against the oppressive educational system they live under.
Several unconformities begin to develop at a catholic boy’s school in the transitional Spain of the seventies. After three students are expelled, a new director arrives with new liberal ideas, but things remain the same way.
Manuel Azaña was the last man elected as president of the Spanish Republic before the Spanish Civil War. In this 1970s film, Spanish schoolchildren are taught about him in their history classes but get the name confused, referring to him as »Hazaña«. Because for them he represents a kind of freedom not seen under the Franco regime, he stands for every kind of freedom. Since these youngsters in this film are suffering from an extremely rigid and dictatorial educational system, the name »Hazaña« becomes a byword for them as they attempt in their own modest way to foment a revolution.
