Based on Isabel Allende’s bestselling book, <em class="film">The House of the Spirits</em> is an eight-episode, multi-generational family saga spanning half a century, centred on the revolutionary Trueba women – Clara, Blanca and Alba – in a conservative South American country shaped by class struggle, political upheaval and magic. Told through Alba’s perspective in the 1970s, the series moves between past and present as she turns to her grandmother Clara’s diaries to make sense of her family’s history and her country’s fractured soul. Through Clara’s memories, we trace the rise of the Trueba family alongside the violent entrenchment of social hierarchies, as love, power and ideology collide on a rural hacienda and in gilded halls. Across generations, the women of the family resist oppression through compassion, forbidden love and political awakening – until private lives and national history become inseparable, and memory itself emerges as the most radical act of survival.
