2 My name is Sira Quiroga and I m a seamstress. I never imagined my fate would be to run across town in a foreign country with a suit of guns on my skin. But now I know that fate is the total sum of every decision we make in life, even those that seemed insignificant at the time. In my case, it all began with something as minor as learning to thread a needle Travelling to an exotic and unfamiliar country to follow a great love, forging a new identity and starting a fancy workshop, and getting tangled up in a WWII spy plot are just a few of the situations Sira Quiroga (Adriana Ugarte), the protagonist of The Time in Between must face in the new fiction series produced by Boomerang TV and slated for a Prime Time premiere on Antena 3. Adriana Ugarte leads the cast as Sira Quiroga, the protagonist around whom the plot revolves, in this adaptation of María Dueñas best-seller. The cast of this fiction series is rounded out by troupe of outstanding Spanish actors, including, Elvira Mínguez, aúl Arévalo, Tristán Ulloa, Carlos Santos, Francesc Garrido, Alba Flores, Mari Carmen Sánchez, Elena Irureta, David V. Muro, Pepa us and Carlos Olalla. A thorough and painstaking process was also undertaken in order to select an international cast composed of Hannah New, Peter Vives, Filipe Duarte, ubén Cortada, Ben Temple and Jimmy Shaw, among other outstanding performers.

3 The Time In Between (a.k.a. The Seamstress) chronicles the life of Sira Quiroga, a young seamstress who, in the months leading up the Spanish Civil War, abandons Madrid in order to follow the man she loves to Tangier. But things there do not turn out as she had planned, and she is forced to take charge of her life. All alone, in an unfamiliar country, laden with other people s debts and a broken heart, Sira ends up in Tetouan, where she fights with every means at her disposal just to stay afloat. The book María Dueñas novel has sold three million copies in over nearly thirty countries. She defines her work as follows: The Time in Between is the story of a young dressmaker driven by fate to take on a dangerous engagement in which the patterns and fabrics of her trade become a front for something much shadier and more critical. Underneath this schematic plot, there is a web of multiple transversal readings that make the book a novel that is at one and the same time a novel about personal growth, a colonial novel, a romantic novel, a novel about historical and political conspiracies, and a spy novel. It s a fast-paced novel full of encounters and clashes, false identities and unexpected turns; tenderness, betrayals and fallen angels, she says.

LA AZÓN Splendid, luxurious, novel and beautiful, very beautiful. Technically outstanding and, compared to Spanish TV production standards, completely unheard-of. In other words, a timeless story, but told like never before. EL MUNDO Adriana Ugarte as Sira Quiroga The daughter of a working class single mother, Sira Quiroga learns the trade of seamstress from a very young age. Her passion for the wrong man drives her to foolishly embark upon a journey from 1930 s Spain to Morocco.

After she has finally opened her own business in Tetouan, her life takes an unexpected turn and she ends up collaborating with the British intelligence service during WWII. Adriana Ugarte is one of Spain s most important actresses. Having won awards for her work in television on shows such as Lady and El Comisario, Adriana has also starred in films such as Doghead and Combustion.

8 In the first two chapters The most daring decision of her life Sira (Adriana Ugarte) is a shy young woman who has dedicated her entire life to the sewing workshop where her mother, Dolores (Elvira Mínguez), works. She becomes engaged to the first man who has ever courted her, Ignacio (aúl Arévalo). But in the months leading up to the Civil War, Sira leaves Ignacio to run away with another man, amiro. Just then, her mother introduces her to Gonzalo (Carlos Olalla), her father, who offers her the chance to use his surname and gives her money and some of the family s jewels. Just then, amiro entices Sira to run away to Tangier, with Gonzalo s money, in order to open a business. Love and espionage in a sewing workshop Sira is alone in an unfamiliar country and soon makes a place for herself as a seamstress working for Candelaria, who sees the young woman as a gold mine, a way to help pay off her debts and get her passport back. Yet all Sira wants to do is go back to Madrid with her mother. Skirting the law with help from Candelaria, they manage to scrounge up a little money, enough to open a shop so that Sira can start sewing. Gradually, Sira regains the peace, stability and happiness she had lost. She also makes some friends and a few enemies.
