Arde Madrid
Created by Paco León, Anna R. Costa
A darkly comic period piece set in Franco's Spain that pairs surveillance paranoia with romantic entanglement and the collision between provincial ideology and cosmopolitan glamour.
Madrid, 1961. Ana Mari is single, lame, Francoist and instructor of the Sección Femenina. By order of the dictator Franco, she must go to work as a maid to Ava Gardner's house and spy on her, pretending to be married to Manolo, a hustler who will become the driver of the American actress.
