Vis a Vis: the Spanish series that turns prison into a game of survival

Amid dangerous alliances, power struggles, and irreversible choices, the show has captivated audiences by showing how a seemingly naive young woman can change when her freedom is taken away.

A story that begins with a betrayal

Few productions manage to transform a confined setting into a universe as unpredictable as Vis a Vis. The plot follows Macarena Ferreiro, a young woman who becomes emotionally involved with her boss and ends up being manipulated into committing financial crimes. When she is convicted, her comfortable life disappears, giving way to the brutal reality of a women’s prison.

Played by Maggie Civantos, Macarena Ferreiro enters prison frightened, vulnerable, and without fully understanding the rules of this new world. However, she soon realizes that showing weakness can be just as dangerous as directly confronting her adversaries.
