Hermanos

Hermanos is a Spanish drama television series. Produced by Mediaset España in collaboration with Multipark Ficción, the 6-episode series aired on Telecinco from September to October 2014. Starring Antonio Velázquez, Álvaro Cervantes and María Valverde, the series—a generational story set in the 1980s and the 1990s— tracks the lives of three childhood friends. Plot Starting in the mid 1980s in a working-class neighborhood of Madrid, two brothers—Juan (Antonio Velázquez) and Alberto (Álvaro Cervantes)—are in love with the same girl, their friend Virginia (María Valverde). Life takes each character to a singular path: the older brother, the brash Juan, puts aside his childhood dream of becoming a boxer and leaves Madrid for the shipyards of Vigo, becoming a trade union leader. Meanwhile, Alberto becomes a priced businessman, whereas Virginia attains her childhood goal of becoming a renowned journalist, entering the elite cultural circles, while also becoming a mother. The friendship story (and love triangle) between the three characters intertwines with historical events such as the deindustrialization policies undertaken in Spain, the Balkan Wars, the rise of trade unionism or the so-called Movida madrileña.
