The outward perfection of a family-run flower business hides a dark side rife with dysfunctional secrets in this darkly humorous comedy series.

Seville, 16th century. During a terrible plague epidemic, the corpses of several murdered people are found, as an omen of the end of the world. Seville was one of the main cities of the Western world. Known as the Great Babylon, it was home to people of all races, where fifty different languages were spoken, and all the gold from America arrived into its port. It was one of the smelliest, most beautiful cities in the world, and the setting for this unique, character- driven thriller.

An incredible, dreamlike place and moment, as if it was in a movie, where anything can happen. Ava Gardner leaves her detached house in La Moraleja and moves into an apartment block in Doctor Arce street, where the Perón family, exiled from their country and taken in by Franco, live. For the poor, almost everything is prohibited, and for the rich, almost nothing is prohibited. On that year, Antonio Flores is baptized, Hemingway dies, films like El Cid or 55 Days at Peking are shot - All the splendor that goes on inside these lofts contrasts sharply with the poverty and paucity of the lives of ordinary citizens of a dictatorship that seems to be going to last for 2000 years.

Aida, is a forty-something, separated and with three children, who moves to live there with her mother. She leaves everything to dedicate herself to her family. Her mother Eugenia, her children Jonathan and Lorena and her brother Luisma are now her main concerns, but the stories she shares with some neighbors in the neighborhood such as the grocer Chema, her best friend Paz and Mauricio, the owner of Bar Reinols, assure a good dose of laughter.
