of a queen and also of a woman. Of a young Englishwoman
who had never dreamed of being what she was: queen of Spain. On the
journey, Victoria
Eugenia (
Kimberley Tell) leaves behind her family, her
customs, her culture and has to renounce her religion to live in a
strange land, where the first thing
she suffers is an attack on her
wedding day.
She never felt accepted or loved, but she never gave up and always
fought to achieve both. Modern in a
traditional environment, she was an
icon of fashion and of the liberation of feminine customs: she smoked,
wore pants... When she discovered the
continuous infidelities of King
Alfonso XIII (
Joan Amargos), she did not give up her role as queen. And
she did so with discretion and, above all,
resilience. She suffered the
curse of transmitting hemophilia, to her husband's sorrow in view of the
difficult dynastic succession that this entailed. In
exchange, she
improved the health of many Spaniards with a work which has gone down in
history: the reconstruction of the Red Cross.
Ena was a woman
who fought to be happy with all her strength in a bitter
period, in which she witnessed two world wars, a civil war and the
deadly Spanish flu. For all these
reasons, Ena, as a series, not only
tells the story of Victoria Eugenia's life, it is also a portrait of an
era that changed the world. Check out the short video below:
