# A Different View

A Different View (Spanish: La otra mirada) is a Spanish dramatic television series created by Josep Cister and Jaime Vaca and starring Macarena García, Patricia López Arnaiz, Ana Wagener, Cecilia Freire, and others. The show is set in 1920s Seville and deals with feminist issues. The two seasons of the show originally aired from 25 April 2018 to 15 July 2019 on La 1.

## Plot

Set in an academy for young women in Seville in the 1920s, A Different View shows a teaching center clinging to an unwavering way of doing things and conditioned by the traditions of the city and those years. This world and its pillars wobble with the arrival of a new teacher who has a very different way of seeing things. She also has a secret objective directly related to the academy. The search for their own voices among the group of adult and young women is among the goals of the protagonists.

## Topics covered

Each episode in both seasons deals with problems and themes that occurred in 1920, and have enduring contemporary interest: the history of Elena Maseras; female teaching; the role of women in sport over the years; feminism as a collective movement and the importance of mutual support among women; the need for women to tell their stories so that no one else speaks for them; the existence of feminist artworks, such as El pelele by Francisco de Goya; knowledge about sexuality beyond male pleasure and self-knowledge of female orgasm; and the value of self-love, mental health, and understanding racism.
