The Goya Awards bring the film 'Father there is no more than one' to the Málaga Penitentiary Center

After the screening of what is the most viewed Spanish film of 2019, a discussion took place in the Preventive Module assembly hall in which the 170 inmates spoke with its director and protagonist, Santiago Segura, and Toni Acosta.

Within the framework of the 34th edition of the Goya Awards and in order to bring cinema closer to the inmates, thus contributing to their social reintegration process, the Film Academy presented last Friday Father there is only one in it Malaga Penitentiary Center. After the screening of what is the most viewed Spanish film of 2019, a discussion took place in the Preventive Module assembly hall in which the 170 inmates spoke with its director and protagonist, Santiago Segura, y Toni Acosta, main actress of this film that is already filming its second installment.

The inmates, who received the filmmaker and the performer with applause, stated that the story had made them laugh and also think. "Sharing the film with you is a new and rewarding experience. I thought that since it was not a delivery of Torrent "You weren't going to like it and the reception has been wonderful," Segura told them.

Most of the inmates' questions were for Segura – is it autobiographical? Which Torrente installment do you choose? Do you pay your friends who make cameos in your films? – to whom they also told jokes and congratulated him for his role in The day of the beast, and one of them, who studies drama at the center, offered to work without pay “but only the first time.”

“You have given me a life lesson, you have taught me to be a father and to fight for the family,” one of the inmates confessed, a comment that moved the director, actor and producer. "If they let me, I will continue making films. I have separated Torrent and now I'm with the children. Padre no hay… es una comedia de evasión, simpática, es la historia más vista del año pasado –ha superado los 2,5 millones de espectadores–”, indicó el cineasta.

Encantados por conocer en persona a Segura, que se documentó sobre los centros penitenciarios en España antes de visitar el de Alhaurín de la Torre, el cineasta hizo gala de su ingenio y chispa en el encuentro. El humor ayuda en todo, apostilló. La proyección también contó con la presencia de la productora de la cinta, Mª Luisa Gutiérrez.

Por segundo año consecutivo, la Academia de Cine acerca la cultura y el cine español a aquellos hombres y mujeres que están privados de libertad, recordó el vicepresidente de la institución, Rafael Portela. El año pasado, se presentó Campeones en el Centro Penitenciario Sevilla I, de la mano de Jesús Vidal y Javier Fesser.
