We’ve got our hands on two preview clips of Finding Altamira, the upcoming history drama movie directed by Hugh Hudson and starring Antonio Banderas, Golshifteh Farahani, Rupert Everett, Pierre Niney, Clement Sibony, Nicholas Farrell, and Allegra Allen:

Finding Altamira – An open mind

Finding Altamira – EvidencePlot synopsis:
“Marcelino Sanz de Sautuola y de la Pedrueca, in 1868, accidentally discovered Patheolitic paintings with the help of a hunter named Modesto Cubillas inside Altamira’s caves, located in Cantabria, north to Spain. Trying to expose their discovery to the academic world for that they study the paintings, Sautuola crashed against the skepticism and discredit of all experts, who claimed that the caves were false and the paintings made for the own Sautuola, in a effort to get rich. Looking for the truth, Sautuola was the rest of his life fighting to prove that those paintings were real, trying to restore his innocence from the accusations of falsehood launched against him.”

I totally love Antonio Banderas’ performance in this film! And you?

Release date: September 16, 2016.

The truth is worth fighting for.

You may watch below the official trailer of Finding Altamira, the upcoming history drama movie directed by Hugh Hudson based on a script by Olivia Hetreed and José Luis López-Linares and starring Antonio Banderas:

FINDING ALTAMIRA

Spain 1878.

Based on the incredible true story.

A discovery that would challenge religion, defy science, and divide their lives.

Plot synopsis:
“In 1878, Spanish archaeologist Marcelino (Antonio Banderas) and his daughter Maria (Allegra Allen) discover seemingly impossible paintings of galloping bison adorning the walls of a hidden cave.
The cave of Altamira brings the world together in amazement, drawing people of all types to see the paintings in person. But, Marcelino soon realizes that the art on the walls must be 10,000 years old, earlier than anyone believes possible.
The theory threatens to tear Maria and Marcelino’s family apart while the outside world’s astonishment soon turns to fury and fear. The Catholic Church sees his claims as an attack on biblical truth while scientists prove just as dogmatic and reactionary.
Maria’s fairytale world grows darker as her family faces disaster and Marcelino’s discovery is repressed. Only their love for each other can guide them toward redemption as Marcelino fights to spread the truth.”

Unfortunately there are still bigots who prefer to blindly believe their religious scriptures instead of opening their mind to rational thinking…

Anyway, three posters of the film:
