Capítulo 3. Las grandes potencias se disputan Iberia, S. VI-38 a.C. (48 min.)
After the disappearance of Tartessos, other Iberian locales rose to prominence and flourished until their successes drew the unwanted attention of rival civilizations. This program tracks the history of Iberia during the era of Carthaginian and Roman expansion. Paintings, dramatizations, and maps reconstruct the course of the Punic Wars.

The feudalistic divide between landowners and farmers, the brutal suppression and subsequent legalization of Christianity, barbarian invasions and the disintegration of the western Roman Empire, Visigothic rule, and incursions by Muslim armies are described through dramatizations, maps, artifacts, paintings, and footage of early churches. Many 3-D computer re-creations - villas, an amphitheater, a church, and entire towns - are included as well."

Capítulo 6. El Islam y la resistencia cristiana, S. VIII-S. XI. (53 min.)
"This program focuses on the rise of the Moorish civilization on the Iberian Peninsula. Spotlights on Moorish poetry, music, science, medicine, engineering, commerce, and agriculture during that time underscore Islam's lasting influence on the region."

Disc 5:
Capítulo 8. La península de los cinco reinos, 1213-1348. (52 min.)
This program employs dramatizations, maps, art, and architecture to follow the ongoing struggles between Christians and Moors--and among the Christians themselves--during the years 1213 through 1347 as the Christian reconquista changed into a Crusade. It also contrasts these clashes of arms with the cultural revival among Christians, Muslims, and Jews in the Iberian melting pot.
Capítulo 9. La época de las calamidades, S. XIV-1479. (53 min.)
"This program delves into a period of violence and catastrophe in Spanish history as civil war, ongoing campaigns against the Moors, the Black Death, and economic and agricultural crises ravaged the Iberian peninsula."

Disc 7:
Capítulo 11. América un mundo nuevo, S. XV-S. XVI. (47 min.)
"After Columbus came the conquistadors: intrepid men who, for good and ill, have left an indelible mark on world history.

Capítulo 12. Carlos V, un monarca, un imperio y una espada, 1516-1556. (53 min.)
"A child of Belgium, a speaker of French, and a Habsburg on his father's side, there was little Spanish about Charles V, yet Spain was the core of his kingdom. This program follows the cosmopolitan "Carlos Quinto," King of Spain and Holy Roman Emperor, through two coronations, a wedding, wars with France and the Ottoman Empire, the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation, and his retirement to the Monastery of Yuste."
Disc 8:
Capítulo 13. La España de Felipe II, un imperia sin emperador, S. XVI. (54 min.)
Philip II ruled over Spain at its peak of world influence ... and at the start of its long slide from prominence. This program depicts the life and times of this absolutist monarch through dramatizations, artwork, and maps. High-profile topics, including the Inquisition, the Armada, and the Battle of Lepanto, are presented while addressing controversies such as the imprisonment and death of the king's heir, Don Carlos."
Capítulo 14. La decadencia política del Siglo de Oro, 1598-1652. (46 min.)
Spain's Golden Age is recognized as the most fertile and glorious era in Spanish arts and letters. Miguel de Cervantes, Francisco de Quevedo, Calderón de la Barca, Diego Velázquez, and many others created works of enduring renown...even as their country fell into ruin. This program contrasts the marvels of the Siglo de Oro through dramatizations, film clips, artwork, and visits to important locales with the ineffectiveness of Kings Philip III and IV--a long period of rule that was largely characterized by political and military decay and disaster.
Disc 9:
Capítulo 15. La decadencia de un imperio (de los Austrias a las Borbones) 1652-1714. (47 min.)
"Charles II was the last of the Spanish Habsburgs. This program follows the continuing decline of Spanish influence during Charles the Bewitched's life--and the War of the Spanish Succession that broke out upon his death. The Peace of Utrecht, which marked the triumph of balance of power over hereditary rights of rule, is addressed as well. Dramatizations, artwork, and visits to important locales bring this period to life.
Capítulo 16. La nueva España de Felipe V, 1714-1789. (53 min.)
"Under Philip V, Spain at last began to recover from the long stagnation it had suffered during the twilight of the Habsburg dynasty. Employing dramatizations and maps, this program charts the reign of the first Bourbon king of Spain and the geopolitical forces that shaped the Europe of the Enlightenment--most notably the Spanish and Austrian wars of succession and their treaties."
Capítulo 17. Carlos III, luces y sombras del reformismo ilustrado, 1746-1789. (49 min.)
Told in flashback during the final days of Charles III's life, this program scrutinizes that enlightened monarch's reign, a period of moderate reformism that required balancing innovation with the heavy weight of tradition. Successful domestic initiatives such as the renovation of Madrid, controversial incidents including the reform riot of 1766 and the expulsion of the Jesuits, and disastrous foreign policy decisions that drew Spain into the Seven Years' War and the American Revolution are each looked at in their turn."
Disc 10:
Capítulo 18. A la sombra de la revolución, 1789-1815. (49 min.)
"Charles IV succeeded to the Spanish throne in 1788. One year later, the cataclysmic revolution in neighboring France dealt European monarchism a blow of seismic proportions. Focusing on Charles' reign--conducted with extreme passivity and ending in abdication--this program uses film clips, dramatizations, paintings, and architectural landmarks to examine a country caught in the throes of sociopolitical turmoil. Queen Maria Luisa and her lover Manuel de Godoy, the true royal powers, are spotlighted as Spain's fortunes in the shadow of Napoleonic France are appraised.."
Capítulo 19. Vivan las caenas! 1815-1840. (50 min.)
"Beginning with the Battle of Bailén, this program charts the erratic course of politics in Spain that saw Ferdinand VII deposed by Napoleon and replaced by the emperor's brother, Joseph; reinstated at the end of the Peninsular War by the victorious allied forces; constrained by a coup in 1820 to abide by the liberal constitution of 1812; and unbound by a second coup to resume his authoritarian reign -- an era known as the Decada Ominosa. Wars for independence in Spain's American possessions are also chronicled. Dramatizations and film clips capture the harshness of the period.
Disc 11:
Capítulo 20. Por la senda liberal, 1824-1850. (53 min.)
"With the Pragmatic Sanction, the Spanish rule passed to Ferdinand VII's young daughter, Isabella, upon his death-and touched off the Carlist Wars, with Ferdinand's brother Don Carlos pitting himself against Queen Regent Maria Cristina. This program employs dramatizations, artwork, maps, film clips, and footage of palaces and other landmarks to make sense of the complex political and social forces at work during the years of the First and Second Carlist Wars. Battles and reprisals as well as reforms and socioeconomic progress all have a place in this story of Spain's turn toward liberalismo."
Capítulo 21. Viva España con honra, 1851-1871 (46 min.)
"The reign of Isabella II was characterized by palace intrigues, antechamber influences, barracks conspiracies, and military pronunciamientos. This program illustrates the factionalist ferment that led to the Revolution of 1868, the expulsion of the queen, the regency of Francisco Serrano, and the short reign of Amadeus . Film clips, artwork, dramatizations, and maps shed light on the unrest at home and in Cuba as well as on moderate progress in public works and slight improvements in commerce and finance. The advantageous war against Morocco is also presented."
Disc 12:
Capítulo 22. El regreso de los Borbones, 1872-1893 (50 min.)
Beginning with the brief tenure of Amadeus I, continuing on through the short-lived First Republic, and concluding with the reign of Alfonso XII and the early years of Alfonso XIII, this program thoroughly acquaints viewers with the second Bourbon restoration. Using dramatizations, architectural landmarks, artwork, and film clips, it covers upsurges of regionalismo and cantonalismo, the Third Carlist War, Cuban separatism, socialism, ongoing industrialization, mass emigration, and work-and education-related social reforms."
Capítulo 23. Alfonso XIII, 1894-1921 (50 min.)
"After reprising key events from Alfonso XIII's early years--most notably the loss of Spain's remaining colonies in 1898--this program traces his reign up to the military debacle at Annual. Vintage film and dramatizations bring early-20th-century Spain to life as they document major challenges to Spanish monarchal rule: Catalan agitation for autonomy, the spread of socialism and anarchism, the execution of Francisco Ferrer Guardia, labor violence, and ongoing warfare in Morocco. Sociocultural aspects of the times, such as the literary Generation of '98, are also singled out."
Disc 13:
Capítulo 24. España, España, 1922-1939. (63 min.)
"The dictatorship of Miguel Primo de Rivera. Spain's Second Republic. The Spanish Civil War. This program, composed almost entirely of period footage and photographs, seeks to understand the tortuous sociopolitical forces at work in Spain between the two world wars. Profiles of public figures and popular movements combined with background on liberal reforms and horrific atrocities evoke an image of a people torn between hope and despair. "
Capítulo 25. Franco, Franco, Franco, 1940-1975(64 min.)
"For nearly 40 years, the totalitarian regime of Generalísmo Francisco Franco defined Spain. This program draws upon archival footage and photographs to show what life was like for Spaniards during that era: on the one hand, post-war economic hardships, curtailed civil liberties, and stringent governmental suppression, while on the other, widespread modernization and, following the Spanish Miracle, an improved standard of living. Franco's grooming of the future king, Juan Carlos, is also covered"
Disc 14:
Capítulo 26. España en libertad, 1976-2005. (61 min.)
"The coronation of Juan Carlos I marked the third restoration of Spanish Bourbon rule. This program tracks the mixed fortunes of post-Franco Spain as it transitioned into a parliamentary monarchy and moved foward into the 21st century. News footage of policy makers and events addresses free elections, economic restructuring, membership in the E.U., educational reforms, and social security as well as the failed 23-F coup, high unemployment, labor strikes, and terrorism"

Director of photography, Rafael Casenave ; art director, Gil Parrondo ; editor, Nieves Martin ; music, Bingen Mendizabal. Participants: Aitana Sanchez Gijon, Hector Alterio, Juan Luis Galiardo, Carmelo Gomez, Amparo Rivelles.
| | Plot: | Masterpiece of contemporary Spanish cinema based on equally excellent novel written by naturalist Leopoldo Alas (Clarín 1852-1901): What at first sight seems to be a typical 19th century love story turns out to focus rather on more or less allegorical social criticism than on mere emotionalism. But to become aware of this you have to familiarize yourself with Spanish history. Orphan female protagonist Ana Ozores, the most beautiful woman of northern Spain imaginary province capital Vetusta, is married to elderly aristocrat don Víctor de Quintanar, who seems to prefer hunting to satisfying his young wife's emotional and spiritual needs. No wonder she's courted by two extremely ambitious men in Vetusta (evidently the pseudonym of the actual Oviedo, capital of Asturias): "Don Juan" Álvaro Mesía, politician, embodiment of libertinage and social progress, and Don Fermín, her father confessor, who symbolizes conservatism and bigotry in the Vetusta's small-minded microcosm. In the end Ana succumbs to Álvaro's charm and is unfaithful to her husband who challenges his opponent for a duel. Álvaro kills Ana's husband and leaves for Madrid, while priest don Fermín begins to despise the woman he once adored. What Ana had thought to be true love and friendship in the beginning ends with the protagonist's absolute loneliness when she notices that she had been a mere toy both to Álvaro and his political adversary Fermín - her "brother of soul": Both betrayed her confidence only in order to show off their power. Besides the story, the actors' artistic merits are notable and make this film worth seeing.
