TV Drama Screenings Festival: Atresmedia Televisión

There’s a wealth of Spanish drama being rolled out at Series Mania and MIPTV, including Atresmedia Televisión’s The Age of Anger (La Edad de la Ira), one of the highlights in the TV Drama Screenings Festival.

The TV adaptation of the novel of the same name focuses on a seemingly normal teen who is accused of brutally murdering his father. Miguel Garcia, sales director, calls it a “premium limited series that explores youth through the eyes of the teenagers.”

Thistle (Cardo), meanwhile, serves as a generational portrait, Garcia notes. “Thistle is a series that shows the reality of many young people born in the ’80s and ’90s whose lives are not what society promised—harder than they imagined and with fewer opportunities than they thought. A story of sex, drugs and drama, but with a good message of hope and overcoming.”
