La Línea Invisible

- Season 1

(2020)

Basque Country 1968. Txabi Etxebarrieta, a brilliant university student from Bilbao, joins his brother and his friends in an organisation called ETA. At the same time, Inspector Meliton Manzanas begins to investigate this group of young people.

Three years later, during the longest strike of the Franco dictatorship, Txabi is elected leader of ETA. To assume his role, he quits university and breaks up with his girlfriend. Meanwhile, Inspector Manzanas obtains a photo of the young leader.

To fund ETA's activities, Txabi and his comrades decide to rob a bank, adding pressure on Manzanas to secure an arrest. But when Txabi's bombing plan goes wrong, Manzanas arrests and tortures his comrade until he gives up vital information on Txabi.

Txabi loses a notebook of poems during an escape from the police. Could this be the lead that Manzanas needs to catch Txabi? Manzanas also becomes a target when ETA takes a vote on which Francoist leader to execute first.

Txabi and his colleagues are getting closer to crossing the invisible line, by intensifying their activities and by identifying possible targets. Meanwhile, we know the story of Jose Antonio Pardines, a Galician civil guard stationed in Guipuzcoa.

ETA's first assassination sets off an unpredictable and dangerous chain of events within the organisation and its surrounding environment.
