The movie, based on Miguel Signes Molines' novel, is featured this week at the Días de Cine Reading Club. This initiative is sponsored by the America Reads Spanish program and the American Library Association to promote literature and the Spanish language in American libraries and universities.
This week, Días de Cine Reading Club presents “Tabarka” with Ginés García Millán, Paco Alegre and Neus Asensi, directed by Domingo Rodes. The movie will be available until June 10th to the participating libraries and universities.
Ian, a political activist in the sixties, arrives on the Mediterranean island of Tabarka with Simone, a friend and fellow activist. He is trying to escape; firstly from the police and secondly from his companions, who think him a traitor after he killed Casanovas, a double agent; only Juan knew what he was. On the island Juan adapts to a closed, provincial world, and becomes enmeshed in a game of intrigue, jealousy and revenge with two female admirers. Two stories with just one hero. He is both a radical political activist and a schoolmaster, a lover and defender of justice. Passion, love, loneliness, power and doubt, in a desperate journey which can only end in the death sentence
