Trailer & Synopsis
A Spanish box office smash hit and 5-time winner at the 2025 Goya Awards, El 47 tells the incredible true story of an act of peaceful dissent and a grassroots neighbourhood movement that transformed Barcelona and the image of its suburbs forever.
1978. Torre Baró is a neighbourhood of shacks, built by people from Extremadura and Andalusia. Although the neighbourhood has been requesting improvements for years, they have been ignored by the state. Manolo Vital (Eduard Fernández, also in Marco, an Invented Truth) is a bus driver on line 47.
Encouraged by his neighbours to get involved in their fight, and to debunk City Council’s claims that buses cannot climb the hills in the district, one day Manolo decides to hijack his own bus and drive it to his neighbourhood.
Directed by Barcelona-born Marcel Barrena (Mediterráneo: Law of the Sea) El 47 is a rousing drama about neighbourhood pride, natural justice and the power of people coming together to create change and shape modern Barcelona.
SPA25 El 47 is showing in cinemas since June 15, 2025 to July 30, 2025
