## Synopsis

The New Years (2024) is a Spanish and French co-produced romance drama miniseries created by Rodrigo Sorogoyen, Sara Cano and Paula Fabra, broadcast on ARTE and Movistar Plus. Iria del Río plays Ana, who turns thirty on New Year's Day with her life still unresolved, and Francesco Carril plays Óscar, who turns thirty on New Year's Eve feeling that his life is almost settled. Their chance meeting sparks a relationship that the ten episodes follow across roughly ten years, so the drama is built from ordinary milestones, shifting ambitions, compromises and the small frictions that accumulate between two people who want different things at different moments. Malena Gutiérrez and Carlos Blanco appear in supporting roles within the couple's wider circle. Each episode is a grounded, observational slice of contemporary urban life, with naturalistic dialogue and intimate close framing that let silences carry weight. The tone is tender, wistful and bittersweet, more about longing and timing than melodrama. Fans of Normal People, Before Sunrise and Blue Valentine will find the same emotional honesty about how love changes shape over time. Across its single season, the series is a patient, adult meditation on whether two people can grow together.
