Temps de silenci (lit. 'Time of Silence') is a Catalan-language soap opera. It aired from 2001 to 2002 on TV3.

Premise

The fiction follows the lives of three families during the Francoist dictatorship: the Dalmau-Muntaner, representatives of the Catalan bourgeoisie; the Comes, a Catalan artisan family, and the Hernández-Utrera, representatives of the immigrant working class,[1] intermingling the grand narrative of history and the little stories of characters' daily lives.[2]

While largely set in the Francoist dictatorship, the fiction eventually spanned to the marriage of Cristina de Borbón and Iñaki Urdangarín in 1997.[1]

Production and release

It premiered on 17 January 2001.[3] Consisting of fifty three 50-minute long episodes, the broadcasting run ended on 10 April 2002.[3][2] It was produced by Diagonal TV [es] and TVC.[4]

The series sparked a spin-off, 16 dobles.[5]
