Crime, intrigue, and two Spain's divided in a series inspired by real events.
Inspired by the multiple murders of “Los Galindos,” which occurred in 1975 on the estate of the same name in Paradas (Seville).
Although the story and characters are fictional, the series recreates the period and social context in which the crime took place, Spain in the last days of Franco regime, also showing the radical cultural, political, and social change Spain took in a very short time. The plot flows along two timelines: 1977, when the journalist Onofre Romera returns to his town to investigate the crime, and 1975, in the weeks leading up to the murders.
Onofre discovers a traumatized and divided town, with families facing each other and an atmosphere of suspicion. As he progresses in his investigation, he runs into the Marquis, Don Rafael Pertierra de Medina, an ambitious and unscrupulous man who hides dark secrets. The series explores the Marquess’ economic intrigues, which lead him to commit increasingly reprehensible acts. The outcome will reveal the truth about the crime and checkmate the power of the time, portraying the duel between those Spains: the one that fights for the future and the one that does not want to let go of the reins, trying to stay in the past.
