PREMIUM AND POIGNANT STORIES
An engaging and moving story leads the way for la Corporación de Radio y Televisión Española (RTVE) at Miptv 2024, with ‘The Law of the Sea’ meant to showcase the power of Spanish premium drama.
Based on a true story from 2006, ‘The Law of the Sea’ is a social drama recounted through its characters and their gazes. A fishing boat, ten crew members and one decision, to rescue 51 sub-Saharan migrants on a boat drifting out at sea.
The crew decision to help the strangers -that included two pregnant woman and a two-year old girl- had deep ramifications for everyone involved and became a political issue, a fight between ‘The Law of the Sea’ and the laws of the land.
Surely not coincidentally, but on a lighter note, RTVE is presenting ‘Detective Touré’, another story about a sub-Saharan immigrant, this one settled in Bilbao and who makes a living as an improvised small-time detective. His skills and intuition earn him the trust of
the Ertzaintza (Basque police) and he is immersed in a complex investigation in which the Nigerian mafia is involved.
Another comedy offering from the Spanish broadcasters is ‘4 Estrellas’, a hilarious series about the coming and goings happening at Hotel Lasierra, a family-run business that has just received its fourth hotel star... at the worst possible moment. Clara, Rita, Marta and Silvia are the brand new Lasierra family, the four stars of this series. This is the moment when they must put their differences aside to make the hotel work. Will they be able to do it?
In a different tone, ‘La Moderna’ is a period drama set in Madrid in 1930. The capital of Spain is a scene of great changes and a hotbed of an intellectual and cultural universe, but the unstable environment, both political and social, that extends throughout the country, deeply affects the people of Madrid. However, there is a select place near Puerta del Sol, where problems and conflicts remain at the front door, it is the “La Moderna” tea room
RTVE is also bringing to Cannes the dramedy series ‘Esto no es Suecia’, about a young couple of parents and their different ideas about how to raise and protect their children; and the long-running series ‘Los Pacientes del Doctor García’, a drama set in 1946, during Francisco Franco’s authoritarian regime.
