This Tea with Mussolini resource is a versatile, classroom-ready film study pack designed for A Level Spanish and AP Spanish learners.

Based on Franco Zeffirelli’s 1999 film, it explores key themes such as war, fascism, dictatorship, resistance, friendship, culture, memory, and survival, with strong links to regime and oppression, historical context, identity, women, and social change.

Ideal for reading, writing, essay practice, and discussion, this resource supports students in developing vocabulary, analysis, and critical thinking while connecting the film to both UK and US Spanish curricula.
