Cell 211

The new prison guard Juan (played by Alberto Ammann) went to jail one day early to experience work in order to show his good professional appearance. On this day, the prisoner leader "Evil Mother" injured the prison guard, led the prisoners to riot, and the prison fell into chaos... Juan was abandoned by his companions in cell 211 because of his injuries. In order to avoid being taken as a hostage by the prisoners, he had to disguise himself as a criminal, gain the trust of the evil mother, and try to find an opportunity to escape. The prisoners used the three "ETA" terrorists in the prison who had served more than 100 years in prison to threaten the government's agreement to negotiate with them. Because the government and ETA had an agreement in advance, the prison authorities and the special operations group were unable to attack by force, resulting in a stalemate. On the other hand, the prison riot caused a chain reaction after being reported by the media. Family members came to the prison to inquire about the news, but were beaten severely by the prison guards. Juan's pregnant wife was unfortunately injured. This made Juan, who wanted to ensure his escape and help the prison authorities calm down the incident, made crazy moves... The film swept eight major awards including Best Film, Director, and Actor at the 2009 Spanish Goya Awards.
