What happens
Pàtria (English "Fatherland") is a 2017 Catalan-language Spanish historical drama film directed by Joan Frank Charansonnet, starring Miquel Sitjar. It is based on the legend of the Catalan national hero Otger Cataló as recounted by Pere Tomich. The plot, set in 8th-century Catalonia, follows the story of Otger as he resists the moorish invaders who have occupied Catalonia. The film was filmed on a very low budget but was awarded Best International Feature Film at the Nice International Film Festival. The film has a strong Catalan nationalist subtext and has been criticised for its negative depiction of the Moors in Spain. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
