Season 1 • Episode 11
LatestLuis Salinas, the new ambassador to Thailand, who knows he's going to get his hands dirty in the next four years – if he makes it that long. He's accompanied by his wife, Claudia, and their daughter Ester. Aware that the familiar constellation of life in the embassy is about to change radically, the staff gear up in nervous anticipation. Life does change, but in a way that Luis would never have imagined it. He must not only cope with the chaos and corruption he was expecting, but also with the implosion of his family life, as Claudia and Ester become involved in affairs that might seriously damage relations between Spain and Thailand. Will the glamorous, globe-trotting diplomatic life swallow up Luis or will he continue to fight for integrity and morals?
Acting
Belén Rueda and Úrsula Corberó devour every scene.
Production
Bangkok locations that luxuriate and suffocate simultaneously.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Spanish public broadcaster TVE commissioned this as prestige counterprogramming to streaming giants—rare state-funded melodrama with genuine location budget.
The creators explicitly modeled Luis on real Spanish ambassadors who faced Bangkok corruption scandals in the early 2010s, blending fiction with barely-disguised recent history.
