Synopsis
23-F: la película (2011) is a Spanish historical drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Chema de la Peña. Paco Tous and Juan Diego head the cast.
On the evening of 23 February 1981, Lieutenant Colonel Antonio Tejero entered the Congress of Deputies in Madrid armed and took hundreds of parliamentarians hostage. Outside, the city held its breath — would the military back the coup or stand down? What followed in those hours became the moment Spanish democracy nearly ended.
The film reconstructs the day in close detail, drawing on documented accounts rather than dramatised invention. For viewers outside Spain, it reads as a reminder of how recently and how narrowly democracies can survive. Stream 23-F: la película (2011) online on iFILM.
