The family is made up of human beings. No two people are alike, and therefore, differences in potential grow and develop between parents, between siblings, and between parents and siblings, forming complex power systems that culminate in unique relationships of dependency. The figure of the eldest sibling is a classic example: they believe themselves to be superior to others and, at the same time, entitled to take advantage of their parents (the figure of the heir, enshrined in this country, is a perverse institutionalization of this reality). If the family is large, the dynamics become more complex, as do the combinations of loyalties. There is a far from innocent tendency to believe that everything is justified in the family's best interest. And it is in this context that the principle of reality is often lost, and nihilism unfolds: everything is permitted. Simultaneously, internal rivalries and loyalties take shape, with the father-mother dynamic as the guiding thread.

This Monday it begins at the National Court the trial of the decade. Over the course of six months, the court will have to discern whether the money that the Pujol Ferrusola family had in Andorra came from the inheritance of grandfather Florenci, as the former Catalan president claims since his confession in July 2014, or came from "illicit million-dollar payments" from businessmen in exchange for "political favors".

The story of the Pujol family, for years a symbol of power in Catalonia and later the epicenter of one of the most notorious scandals in Catalan politics, comes to theaters with Our Father, The first film to address the fall of the Pujol Ferrusola family. Directed by Manuel Huerga and written by Toni Soler, the film will be released in theaters on April 16th by Filmax. It tells the story of how the former president of the Generalitat (Catalan government) and his family dealt with the crisis surrounding the undeclared fortune in Andorran bank accounts.
