El último show

Set in Aragon,[1] the fiction is approached as a tragedy blended with comedy elements.[2] A formerly popular comedian, Miguel Ángel, aka "Marianico el Corto", suffers from an identity crisis after finding out that his jokes are no longer funny.[3] Despite his manager Chusé's intentions to return him back to stardom, he realises that he has little time left and decides to make a surrealist film paying homage to Luis Buñuel.[4][5] He also tries to return to his former wife Pilar, now in a relationship with the much younger Dámaso.[4] Miguel Ángel's story runs parallel to the developments in the teenage years of his granddaughter Claudia.[1]
