An incredible, dreamlike place and moment, as if it was in a movie, where anything can happen. Ava Gardner leaves her detached house in La Moraleja and moves into an apartment block in Doctor Arce street, where the Perón family, exiled from their country and taken in by Franco, live. For the poor, almost everything is prohibited, and for the rich, almost nothing is prohibited. On that year, Antonio Flores is baptized, Hemingway dies, films like El Cid or 55 Days at Peking are shot - All the splendor that goes on inside these lofts contrasts sharply with the poverty and paucity of the lives of ordinary citizens of a dictatorship that seems to be going to last for 2000 years.
If you're a fan of historical dramas that delicately weave together the lives of different social classes, then "Acacias 38" is a must-watch TV series for you. Set in the year 1899, this Spanish series takes place in a bourgeois neighborhood where both aristocratic families and their maids live side by side. The series is rich with intrigue, romance, and societal commentary.
The story begins with Manuela, a young pregnant woman fleeing from her abusive husband to save her life and that of her unborn child. With courage and determination, she assumes a new identity to start afresh at Acacias 38. As she joins other maids living in modest quarters while working for wealthy families like the Serna family and the Álvarez-Hermoso household, viewers are introduced to an intricate tapestry of relationships defined by love, power struggles, and hidden pasts.
One cannot ignore the magnetic chemistry between Manuela (played by Sheyla Fariña) and Germán de la Serna (portrayed by Roger Berruezo), an affluent doctor who once saved her life. Despite being married to Cayetana—a manipulative woman played masterfully—Germán finds himself irresistibly drawn to Manuela. Their forbidden romance adds layers of tension as Cayetana's schemes threaten to unravel everything.
