On July 29, 2000 in Tolosa, Guipúzcoa (Basque Country, north to Spain), and while he was with a close friend in a bar, three ETA's terrorists kill to the former Civil Governor of Guipúzcoa Juan María Jaúregui, tearing apart his wife Maixabel Lasa and their 19 years old daughter María. Eleven years later, María is married and mother of a baby girl, and her mother leads the Association of the Victims of Terrorism, to remember the dead and hurts by ETA and get a chance for reconciliation and peace. Ibon Etxezarreta, one of Jaúregui's assassins, is moved to the jail of Nanclares de la Oca to be close of his aging mother, meeting in Nanclares with other of the killers, Luis Carrasco. Exiled of the band by this rejection to the violence and the armed fight, Luis and Ibon try reconcile their lives with the past and the crimes committed, while the others ETA inmates of the jail repudiate them. When Maixabel organizes a series of jail meeting between killers and victims in an attempt to approach positions, Luis requests to meet Maixabel for asking forgiveness, while Ibon learns during a brief prison permit that his former friends reject him too, finding himself totally alone, turned in outcast for everyone. Despite María's objection and her fear to lose her mother as she lost her father, Maixabel agrees to meet Luis in Nanclares, trying understand not only the happened but why it happened. Trapped by the remembers of the people he killed and pain caused to their friends and relatives, Ibon requests his own meeting with Maixabel as a first step for the redemption, but then he is reported that the authorities have canceled the meetings, leaving her with a more complicated option for Maixabel if she agreed to Ibon's request: meeting with him during another prison permit outside the jail, where there is no the same security. Inspired on true events, Maixabel is a story not only about terror and pain, but the ability to forgive and leave the hate behind.—Chockys

2015. A Coruña, Galicia (northwest of Spain). Carlos, a bank executive happily married with Marta and the father of two children, older Sara and younger Marcos, starts the day as usual, ready to work in the bank after taking the children to the school. But when the three get into the car, a cell phone left inside the vehicle rings. On the other end, an unknown voice tells Carlos that there is a bomb under the car and demands him a great amount of money under the menace to explode it if any of them gets out of the vehicle, marking the end of the workday as the time limit to receive the money. Hiding the danger to the children, Carlos starts a race across the city calling Víctor, his friend and job partner, to get the money. When Carlos meets with Victor's wife Julia in the city by chance while he is in negotiations with Víctor himself, Carlos learns that "the stranger" is blackmailing his friend too, who rejects to pay the money after an illegal bank operation. Trying to save her, Carlos and the children watch as Julia's car explodes, killing her and forcing Carlos to runaway fast. With his car identified as a possible suspect of the explosion, police chief Espinosa starts an investigation while Marta tries to discover where her husband is and why the children aren't in the school. At the same time Alejandro, Carlos and Victor's boss from the Madrid Central Office, calls Carlos in order to force him to keep silent about the illegal operations, more worried about a possible leak to the public eye than about his employee's life. Chased by the police, Carlos is finally trapped in a public park, surrounded by Espinosa and his men, who wrongly take him as a criminal who is menacing his children with a bomb threat. The chief calls Belén, head of the explosives squad, to try dismantle the bomb. Revealing Sara and Marcos the danger they face, Carlos will have not only to convince Espinosa that he is not the enemy, but also to find a way to deceive "the stranger" to reveal his true identity, so he can stop him once and for all before he makes the car explode.—Chockys

Juan Oliver wants to make a good impression at his new job as a prison officer and reports to work a day early, leaving his pregnant wife, Elena, at home. His destiny is forever changed by this fateful decision, as during his tour of the prison, an accident occurs that knocks him unconscious. He is rushed to the empty but visibly haunted walls of cell 211. As this diversion unfolds, inmates of the high security cell block strategically break free and hijack the penitentiary. Aware of the violence that is to come, the prison officers flee, leaving Juan stranded and unconscious in the heart of the riot. When Juan awakens, he immediately takes stock of the situation; in order to survive, he must pretend to be a prisoner. Juan develops a dialogue with the violent leader of the riot, Badass, and the two begin a partnership, Badass fully believing that Juan is a new inmate. Negotiations go smoothly until the rioters take three ETA (the militant Basque separatist organization) prisoners hostage. When this hits the news, it triggers a stream of prison riots throughout the country as well as demonstrations in the Basque Country. Juan quickly realizes that he is on his own as the situation becomes more politicized and the government gets involved, afraid of potential ramifications in the Basque community. As the drama heightens, unexpected shifts in character both within and without the prison occur.—Anonymous
