Description
Diagonal Television for Antenna Spain, TV3 Catalonia and Netflix
An epic story set in 14-century Barcelona at one of its most prosperous times. The humble fisherman’s town has now become a thriving city where the biggest Marian temple ever built is being created: Santa María del Mar.
Construction happens during Arnau Estanyol’s lifetime. Arnau is a servant of the land who runs away with his father from his feudal lord’s abuse and finds shelter in Barcelona as a free man.
Arnau will work as a palfrey, bastaix and soldier. However, a fast-paced social upheaval will take him from misery to a good life as a money changer, something that will arouse the misgivings of his enemies, who will conceive a plot that will put his life in the hands of the Inquisition.
Revenge, love and betrayal mix together in a fascinating story, set in Medieval Barcelona, where religious intolerance and social segregation spread across the land.
