In 1980s Madrid, filmmaker Enrique is visited by Ignacio, a childhood friend he hasn’t seen in years. Ignacio brings a story he has written about their time together at a Catholic school, where they experienced abuse at the hands of a priest. As Enrique begins to adapt the story for the screen, long-buried memories begin to surface. Blending noir, melodrama and film-within-a-film storytelling, this provocative and emotionally charged drama explores guilt, identity and the lasting impact of childhood trauma. One of Pedro Almodóvar’s most personal films, Bad Education is a complex meditation on memory and the stories we tell to survive.
