Turuleca’s rather strange appearance and inability to lay eggs is met with mockery from the other hens. However, her life changes the day that Isabel, a former music teacher, takes her to live on her farm and discovers her amazing secret talent. Not only can Turuleca speak, she can also sing as you’ve never heard a hen sing before! But their luck isn’t to last. Isabel suffers an accident and is taken to a hospital in the Big City. Turuleca decides to go and find her, and to do it she joins the fascinating group of artists from the Daedalus Circus. Together they will set out on an extraordinary journey on which Turuleca’s musical talent and charm will turn her into a star. But her journey won’t be easy, the circus is threatened by the evil Armando Tramas, who wants to get his hands on both the circus, and the prodigious hen.
The Real Sociedad makes another date with history. Following the successes of the winning team in the eighties, 30 years later one of our line-ups has made it to a cup final. It’s the opportunity to win a new title. The women’s team measures itself against Atlético de Madrid in the Queen’s Cup final in Granada. The days leading up to the big moment are lived with nerves, stress and great excitement by the players, the technical crew and the whole blue & white family. The ambition and struggle of our female players will be key. We all know the result. Now let’s see what the road to get there was like.
María, Esther and Cristina are three complicated adult women in full existential crisis. They have come to realise that the plans they had for their lives have failed to bring them their much-desired and promised happiness.

We will see them discover that life doesn’t always have to be the way they’d always imagined it to be. 8-episode series.
