Actor Daniel Brühl learned Catalan and Spanish to play Salvador Puig Antich. The film is a drama about the life of the last person condemned to death by garrotte by Franco, and we first meet the young anarchist in his prison cell after he is accused of shooting a policeman.
From there, he tells the story of how he became a freedom fighter and how MIL (Thousands) —the military group he was involved in— formed, evolved and disappeared.

However, the aim of the film is not to be a documentary, but to give the audience a sense of the Spanish society desire for change in the early 1970's.
In Salvador, rather than a frenetic rhythm, you will experience tense moments and silences. Do not expect crazy anarchist adventures but a tough piece of reality, full of messages beyond images and words. Silence, tension, love, friendship and ideals are the mix of this film, making it an ideal cocktail for a relaxing Wednesday afternoon.
