The last film that Manuel Huerga directed with a script by Toni Soler was April 14. Macià v Companys (2014), a fake television report about true events: the fleeting proclamation of the Catalan Republic and the political rivalry between Francesc Macià and Lluís Companys. Our Father, the new collaboration between Huerga and Soler, symbolically picks up that thread with an aerial tracking shot that covers half of Barcelona: from Montjuïc Castle, where Companys was executed in 1940, to the official car in which Jordi Pujol traveled in 2014, days before confessing to the hidden fortune in Andorra; that is, from the physical death of the 123rd president of the Generalitat to the political and reputational death of the 126th.
