Lorca, muerte de un poeta - Season 1 (1987)

In 1929, Federico García Lorca traveled to New York to further his studies at Columbia University. During his stay in the city he will witness the consequences of the Wall Street crash. After staying there for 10 months, in the spring of 1930 he will visit Havana, Cuba. He later returns to Spain where he obtains a huge success after the premiere of his plays Yerma and Bodas de sangre. He also performs the function of director of the University Theater group "La Barraca". The death of his friend, the bullfighter Ignacio Sánchez Mejías, produces a deep sorrow in him ...

After the victory of the Popular Front of left-wing parties in the elections of February 1936, the rumors about a possible military coup d'etat are more and more insistent. Federico García Lorca, who has just written his theatrical drama La casa de Bernarda Alba, moves to Granada to celebrate his name day with his family. The military uprising of July 18 will be the prelude to a bloody civil war.

In the city of Granada altercations and executions take place. Meanwhile, the García Lorca family continues to be frightened by the events. To prevent Federico from being arrested, they decide that he will spend a few days at the home of his friend Luis Rosales, since both Luis and his brothers are prominent Falangists. Even so, the poet, who is accused of allegedly collaborating with international communism, will be transferred to the police station.
