Modelo 77 (2022) May 2026

The 2022 film Modelo 77 (internationally titled Prison 77 ), directed by Alberto Rodríguez, is a historical thriller that serves as a poignant critique of the Spanish Transition to democracy. By focusing on the brutal conditions within Barcelona’s Modelo prison between 1976 and 1978, the film explores how the "clean slate" of the new era often excluded those at the bottom of the social hierarchy. The Microcosm of the Transition

The narrative follows Manuel (Miguel Herrán), a young accountant facing an excessive 20-year sentence for embezzlement. His struggle inside the walls mirrors the political volatility outside. While Spain was moving toward democratic reforms and the 1978 Constitution, the film highlights a critical disparity: the 1977 Amnesty Law granted freedom to political prisoners but pointedly ignored "common" inmates.

  1. Hi Andy,

    I was an EMC test engineer (4 yrs.) and then an EMC design engineer for Cisco Systems in San Jose, CA for 18.5 yrs. and I retired in 2011. I now would like to come out of retirement and I think that I would like to work again in EMC testing. Do you have training that would allow me to apply for EMC testing positions? I am not affiliated with any company. Specifically, I am interested in the cost of any potential training for someone who is not affiliated with any company.

    Regards,

    John Hess

  2. This has been a great resource for me as a new EMC Test Engineer, and I’m sure that I will continue to come back to it. Thank you!
