Arde Madrid: Burn Madrid Burn

SVOD subscription service MHz Choice will premiere Tuesday May 5 the critically acclaimed dramedy “Arde Madrid: Burn Madrid Burn,” starring Debi Mazar, Paco León and Inma Cuesta. Directed by León, best known as the director of the feature film April 9th, this eight-episode limited series, set in Franco’s Madrid in 1961.

Shot on location in Spain, “Arde Madrid” is based loosely on actress and Hollywood star Ava Gardner’s (Mazar) move to Madrid, to flee her husband Frank Sinatra, Metro Goldwyn Mayer, and the paparazzi that followed her everywhere and made her life impossible. In Madrid, Gardner’s only goal was to have as much fun as possible. Extremely beautiful, captivating, intelligent, sexy and free, Ava always did exactly as she pleased, not tied down either romantically or professionally, living a life completely different to that of Spanish woman around her. The series is in Spanish with English subtitles.

Ana Mari (Cuesta), a loyal, conservative spinster with a limp, who teaches young ladies how to be good housewives and mothers, is ordered by Franco to go work as a maid at Gardner’s house in order to spy on her.  To do so she will have to pretend to be married to Manolo (León), a petty thief and cocky opportunist, who will become the actress’ chauffeur. Full of himself, thuggish and hard faced, Manolo soon finds himself involved in dodgy dealings with the underworld.

Ava and Manolo’s liberal lifestyle are the exact opposite of Ana Mari’s moral code. Whether it’s the all-night parties that rob their neighbor, exiled Argentinian dictator Juan Perón, of his cherished sleep, or bringing a wasted Ava back to life after nights with the local Dolce Vita crowd at Madrid’s hippest clubs, in all the turmoil, Ana Mari finds herself loosening up and beginning to fall for the craziness as she is compelled to make decisions that shake her solid ideological foundations.

Produced in Spain for Telefonica’s Movistar Plus, “Arde Madrid” quickly became the streaming platform’s most binged series after its release. Co-written by Leon and Anna R. Costa, the series also stars American actress Debi Mazar (“Entourage,” “Younger”).
