The film aims to give an overview of the case, without forgetting the role of the Spanish state's sewers in the matter, but from the perspective of the protagonist and his entourage. Closer to a family chamber drama than a historical fresco, one of the film's great successes <em>Our Father</em> lies in the choice of <a href="https://en.ara.cat/sunday/cry-lot-lately-alone-but-cry-lot_128_5344417.html" target="_blank">Josep Maria Pou</a> as the protagonist. The actor does not resemble Pujol, and his characterization is not forced. This way, the<em>Poland effect</em> –that is, falling into the caricature of the character– to approach the tragic meditation on how a leader can end up dynamiting his own legacy.</p>]]></description>
