When We Were Yesterday

With subtle irony and magnificent stage setting, Pilar Eyre takes us back to a Barcelona in full expansion, filled with contrasts, political struggles and Olympic hope.

Barcelona, 1968. Silvia Muntaner debuts in society at the Ritz, and all of her family’s hopes are pinned on her spectacular beauty. If they can marry her well, it will save them from their disastrous financial woes. But Silvia’s dreams are very different from her mother's: that night she will know love for the first time and a new world of possibilities will open up for her. As a philosophy and literature student, Silvia will take an active role in the struggle against Franco, and will taste forbidden love in the arms of Rafael, the man who will distance her from her mother and revolutionize their lives forever.

A hidden scandal. A ruined family. A love that shook society.
