THE TEACHER WHO PROMISED THE SEA

Next Screening

THE TEACHER WHO PROMISED THE SEA

In 1935 Antoni Benaiges is hired as a teacher in a small, isolated village in Burgos, Spain. There, he establishes an intense relationship with his students, a group of young boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 12. To them, he makes a promise: he will take them to see the sea for the first time in their lives.

75 years later, the granddaughter of one of those students, who has set out in search of her grandfather, comes across the wonderful, yet tragic story of this teacher and the tale behind a promise.

The Teacher who Promised the Sea is a tenderly realised and strikingly well shot film anchored by a fine performance by Auquer, whose appealing portrayal makes us bond to Antonio very quickly. – Jason Blake, Limelight

This film is a joy, despite such sadness… – Stephen Romei, The Australian

Noosa Film Society

With over 2000 members the Noosa Film Society is the largest such society in Australia.

The Noosa Film Society is a registered not-for-profit organisation and was established in 1979 to encourage interest in film as an art form. At first, movies were screened at the golf club to a small group of film enthusiasts once a month. Several years later, screenings were moved to the Noosa Arts Theatre where they continued to play until the cinema in Noosa Junction was built.
