Mariana and Samuel go to live in Vallvidrera, a mountain neighbourhood in Barcelona, to raise their children in a more authentic place, far from their respective painful childhoods. There, they find a community with the same aspirations. But when tragedy shakes the neighbourhood, they dismantle their ideal, the couple's certainties begin to waver and fear settles in, coming dangerously close to everything they were trying to escape.

E1
The Change
Air date: 2023-11-28
Mariana and Samuel have moved to a new neighbourhood, up in the mountains of Barcelona, where they hope to give their children Lia and Max a safe upbringing, something they never got to experience themselves.

But suddenly everything takes a drastic turn.

The Fear

Self-Knowledge
