A Different View () 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 The show is set in an academy for young women in Seville in the 1920s. A Different View showcases a teaching center clinging to an unusual 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
Set in 1920s Seville, the series explores social and political themes of both historical and contemporary relevance, with each episode centering on specific feminist topics. Topics addressed include historical milestones in women's education such as the legacy of pioneer Elena Maseras, as well as the evolution of female educators and the role of women in sports.
Additionally, the storyline examines collective feminist movements, female solidarity, and the importance of autonomous female narratives. The series also engages with feminist art history, including analysis of Francisco de Goya's El pelele, alongside broader discussions on female sexual autonomy, mental health, and anti-racism.
