Series - 9x70' - Drama

Based on the novel by Paloma Sánchez-Garnica, 'The Sonata of Silence' transports viewers to Spanish society in the 1940s, exploring the struggles and challenges through the eyes of Marta Ribas.

'The Sonata of Silence' is an intriguing narrative puzzle that defies the conventions of the time and reveals one woman's struggle to take control of her own life.
