The series tells of how the lives of four young women, Alba, Angeles, Carlota and Marga, change after they start working for the National Telephone Company which offers them decent pay and some independence. Each of the four is attached in different ways to their families, partners, or memories, but they develop close friendships among the group. ''' Each woman has a different reason for joining the company. Alba Romero, who goes by the name Lydia Aguilar to conceal her identity, seeks a job at the telecommunications company to complete a mission. Angeles Vidal is a mother who works to help provide for her family and is the most experienced switchboard operator at the telecommunications company. Carlota Senillosa wants the job at the telecommunications company to escape her controlling father and her rigid high society life, and Marga joins the company to support her family and start a new chapter of her life. The four women begin to form a close friendship, and, together, they navigate their personal lives and their work. The show reveals the hardships that working women faced in 1920s Spain, and especially the severe restrictions on the rights of Spanish women in a male-dominated society.
