CRIME TIMES

Series - 13x70' - Suspense / Crime Thriller

Madrid. 1966. Jesús Expósito (Fernando Guillén Cuervo) is a lone wolf, a self-made ex-cop with a thorny past. He likes the Soberano.

Clara López-Dóriga (Verónica Sánchez) is a well-to-do, college-educated, cosmopolitan girl with a more complicated present than she would like. She loves Manhattan. The two could not be more different, but they are doomed to understand each other, because the old dog of journalism and the novice girl with aspirations have become the star journalists of EL CASO, the newspaper of events that marked an entire era. 

Jesús Expósito

Clara López-Dóriga

Inspired by real events, EL CASO is an investigative series in which each episode tells the story of a crime that made the front page, or could have made the front page, of what was the newspaper with the largest circulation at the time and which dealt with the most lurid and violent events. Reports on passionate murders, disappearances of people in strange circumstances, paranormal phenomena, satanic rites, in short, all kinds of gruesome stories of the deepest Spain. And always with censorship as a sword of Damocles about to fall on the editors who, on the other hand, take refuge in the fact that theirs is considered a popular and not very serious medium to cover stories that other newspapers do not dare to narrate.

Expósito and López will live in situ the development of the facts, snooping among police and witnesses, often leading an investigation parallel to the police. On more than one occasion, the determined character of Jesús and the spontaneity of Clara place them in compromising situations. In this context, there is a crossroads between two Spains of the time: one submissive and conformist to the political situation and the other eager for culture and freedom, especially freedom of information.
