The series, created by Miguel Ángel Sosa, goes back to the 1950s in the Penitentiary Colony
Between 1954 and 1966 it existed, in a desert area of Fuerteventura, a Francoist concentration camp known by the euphemistic name of Tefía Penitentiary Agricultural Colonyone of many places where the regime sent those convicted by the law of vagrants and thugs.
The plot begins in 2004, when Airam Betancor, one of those homosexual prisoners, is forced to remember the 17 months of forced labor he suffered in the colony when he was barely twenty years old. The investigations of a documentary filmmaker who tries to give voice to the silent history of the penal colony force Airam to do a painful memory exercise that will cause many problems in his life. The numb memory of the terrible life in the colony mixes with that of the stories that one of his fellow barracks improvised at night to alleviate his miseries. Charli, the fantastic narrator, invented El Tindaya for all of them, a dazzling music hall where each one has her alter ego and has become a space of freedom.
