Untitled El Nani Series

The series about the disappearance of El Nani will be set against the backdrop of Spain in the early 1980s, as it transitions to democracy, a time where the country faces a surge of crimes and the highest rates of bank robberies in the world. To combat public fear, a police unit with broad powers is created – staffed by Francoist officers – and operates with near total impunity.

After a fatal robbery, a young small-time thief known as Nani is wrongfully arrested by the unit and soon disappears, becoming the first missing person in the new Spanish democracy. In this thrilling new series, Rodríguez and Cobos explore another era of Spanish history, bringing to screens the long fight for democracy and the everyday people caught in its wake.
