Jaime Chávarri gives voice to the family of Leopoldo Panero, the official poet of the Franco regime, who died in 1962. It is an artistic work with the value of a historical document. Its director, by getting inside this peculiar family, will make the poet's widow and children talk.His widow, Felicidad Blanc, and his three sons, Michi, Juan Luis and Leopoldo María, express bitterness and pain, highlighting the gradual disintegration of a family living trapped in a hypocritical reality. The film functions as a perfect metaphor for the decadence that characterized Spain in the last years of Francoism. The Disenchantment was the last film to be censored by the regime.
