At the beginning of 1981, Antonio and Mercedes manage to fulfil one of their most cherished dreams: travelling to Venice and spending a few days in one of the most romantic places in the world. These days of happiness are the prelude to the hectic year that awaits them when they return to San Genaro. The first and most disturbing news they receive is that a group of Civil Guards, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Tejero, has taken over the Congress of Deputies. Having overcome the fear of the attempted coup d´état and having recovered his meagre economy, Antonio must face the accusation of having distributed adulterated oil, apparently the cause of numerous poisonings. The Alcántaras decide to …

After the blows he has received in recent months, Antonio is fighting to regain his position. He refuses to lose his status. He has gone from being the general director of the Ministry of Agriculture to having nothing. Except for his family, he has lost everything he worked so hard to achieve. Getting it back is not going to be easy. Opportunities are few to start another professional adventure, especially for someone like him, who has years to spare and not enough to study. That is why he insists to Carlos, now that he has finished his military service, that he enroll in ICADE. Antonio believes that his time at this prestigious center will not only be important for his training, but also to …

A television series that recounts the last years of the Franco dictatorship and the arrival of democracy, from the perspective of a middle-class Spanish family, the Alcántaras. Narrated from the perspective of the youngest son, Carlos (Ricardo Gómez), who recounts the events as an adult in the present day, the family is made up of Antonio Alcántara (Imanol Arias), a strict father who tries to get ahead in life, Mercedes (Ana Duato), a mother who is above all concerned about the well-being of her family, Inés (Irene Visedo), the eldest daughter in her teens who just wants to enjoy life, Toni (Pablo Rivero), the rebellious son who longs for the arrival of democracy, and Carlitos himself. Grandma Herm…

Thanks to Antonio´s (Imanol Arias) work at the Ministry of Agriculture, the Alcántaras have significantly improved their income and, therefore, their standard of living. This will lead them to change residence and move to the Salamanca district, one of the most expensive and wealthy areas of Madrid. On the other hand, Juana (Cristina Alcázar), Toni´s (Pablo Rivero) wife, will lose the child they both expected. This tragic event will inevitably influence their relationship and things will get much worse between them. In addition, they will stay to live in the apartment that Antonio and Mercedes (Ana Duato) had in the San Genaro neighborhood. In addition, Inés, the oldest daughter of the Alcán…

In the first months of 1974, the echoes of the assassination of Carrero Blanco still resonate, while the muted cries for freedom that rang out in Portugal after the Carnation Revolution in April reach Spain. Toni, as a correspondent for the newspaper he works for, is an exceptional witness to the return to democracy in the neighbouring country. As a pale reflection, protests and strikes occur more frequently and intensely in Spain, like the strike by actors, which makes headlines in all the media.Love also seems to come to everyone in those months, from Herminia, who in Sagrillas begins a relationship with Alfredo, to Carlitos, who, in addition to his first summer love, discovers another love,…

The first year of the seventies, 1971, brought with it an economic recession that affected many countries, including Spain. As expected, the Alcántaras also suffered the crisis: in recent months, Boutique Meyni has barely made any sales, many orders have been cancelled and others simply have not been paid. Antonio, more than a sales manager, seems to be the collection manager. Furthermore, Mercedes´ desire to get her driving license is seen as a new challenge to his authority. Toni´s romance with Clara has opened another gap in the family crisis.Everything influences Antonio to consider accepting Don Pablo´s offer to work with him in his import and export business with the Soviet Union. Don …

1970 could not have started better for the Alcántaras. Don Pablo has embarked on a real estate business and has appointed Antonio as the managing director of his new company, Construcciones Nueva York, which is soon marketing an entire development of new homes: Las Lomas de don Julián. In addition, the shop that Mercedes has opened in the neigh bourhood, in association with Nieves – the Boutique Meyni – is constantly receiving orders. But Meyni is not the only new business in the neighbourhood. A few steps away, El Eden has opened, a strip club that changes the daily life of the neighbourhood and its residents, especially that of Carlitos and his friends, whose curiosity is almost as great as the…
