The last retch for the hordes without mercy

Set in the late 1970s Barcelona Modelo Prison where inmates were constantly being brutally beaten and battered. They finally mustered up courage to revolt and claim for amnesty, but back then, under the iron claws of the Francoist Regime, the Spanish penitentiary system was an excruciating and grim affair. Modelo 77’s (Prison 77) plot is inspired by the real attempted prison break attempted by 45 inmates, and it’s a rather gripping prison drama.
