Plot
Set in an academy for young ladies in Seville in the 1920s, A Different View shows a teaching center clinging to an unwavering way of doing things and conditioned by the traditions of the city and those years. This world and its pillars wobble with the arrival of a new teacher who has a very different way of seeing things. She also has a secret objective directly related to the academy. The search for their own voices among the group of adult and young women is among the goals of the protagonists.

A Different View TV Series is available on YouTube TV, Netflix and Hulu.

Topics covered
Each episode in both seasons deals with problems and themes that occurred in 1920, and have enduring contemporary interest: the history of Elena Maseras; female teaching; the role of women in sport over the years; feminism as a collective movement and the importance of mutual support among women; the need for women to tell their stories so that no one else speaks for them; the existence of feminist artworks, such as El pelele by Francisco de Goya; knowledge about sexuality beyond male pleasure and self-knowledge of female orgasm; and the value of self-love, mental health, and understanding racism.
