Following the critical and public success of 'The Anatomy of a Moment' at the last San Sebastián Film Festival, the series was screened in the Freestyle Serie section of the Rome Film Festival, where it was very well received by the audience, being the only Spanish television drama present.

"The Anatomy of a Moment" will also open the Serielizados Festival in Barcelona on Monday 3 November with the screening of its first two episodes and the presence of Álvaro Morte, Eduard Fernández, Miki Esparbé and Alberto Rodríguez.

Based on the 23-F coup d'état that took place in Spain on February 23, 1981, "The Anatomy of a Moment" dissects one of the crucial moments in recent Spanish history: the Transition. When Civil Guard Lieutenant Colonel Antonio Tejero entered the Congress building with a pistol in his hand, only three men remained seated while the rest ducked for cover: Adolfo Suárez, Santiago Carrillo and Gutiérrez Mellado.

Through these three men who led the transition to democracy and the three main leaders of the coup d'état, Tejero, Milans and Armada, the series recounts the chain of events and tensions that led Spain to the brink of a return to the previous military regime. Based on the book by Javier Cercas, which has been called “one of the major works of literature in the Spanish language of our time”.

'The Anatomy of a Moment', directed by Alberto Rodríguez and written by Rafael Cobos, Fran Araújo and Alberto Rodríguez, is based on the book of the same name by Javier Cercas, published in 2009, which has become a bestseller and is considered the definitive account of the attempted coup d'état on 23 February. The series is produced by José Manuel Lorenzo, Fran Araújo, Domingo Corral and Manuela Ocón.

'The Anatomy of a Moment' is an original Movistar Plus+ series in collaboration with DLO Producciones and in association with ARTE France, which will be distributed internationally by Movistar Plus+ International. It will premiere on Movistar Plus+ on 20 November.
