# Historia de un clan

Historia de un clan (Spanish: History of a Clan) is an Argentine TV series made in 2015 by Telefe, starring Alejandro Awada. It is based on the 1980s exploits of the real-life Puccio family.

## Plot

The Puccio are apparently a family like any other: Arquímedes (Alejandro Awada), the father, has a plan in hand, for which he needs the help of his family. This is how he reunites his children, Alejandro (Chino Darín) and Daniel (Nazareno Casero), to help him bring about the company. Arquímedes house would become the center of operations, maintaining a life of contrasts. The story tells the family organization of the crime, the connections of Arquímedes Puccio with other criminal gangs and the unsustainable innocence of this story based on real events.

## Production

The first episode includes a nude scene by Chino Darín, who plays a rugby player. This was the first scene of male full frontal nudity aired on Argentine television in almost 60 years. The writer, Javier Van de Couter, joked about it on social networks, generating many responses.

## Reception
### Rating

The first episode garnered 16.2 rating points. It was the second most-seen TV program of the day, following the last episode of the Binbir Gece rerun. It surpassed the miniseries Signos, which achieved 10.6 rating points.

### Critical reception

Silvina Lamazares of the Clarín newspaper praised the quality of the series. She considered it the best work of actor Alejandro Awada's for television, and the consolidation of Chino Darín as an actor. The TV series has been compared with the film The Clan, released the same year, which is also based on the story of the Puccio family. According to Infobae, both productions have a "tense and hostile" mood, but the miniseries allows for the development of the story at a slower pace and the exploration of the characters in greater depth. Infobae also noted that Awada and Darín's characters received the most focus in the first episode, but considers that Cecilia Roth, Gustavo Garzón, Pablo Cedrón, Nazareno Casero, and Tristán Díaz Ocampo may have greater roles as the story develops.
