This Catalonian series is centred on Eduard Marina, a man who blames himself for the death of his wife, Elisa, and two children. Unable to deal with the grief he heads to a bridge intending to jump in front of a train. Before he can do so he is approached by Dr Liz Everest who talks him down. She tells him she wants him to help her with an experiment... she has invented a device that allows the wearer to travel between alternate universes. He sees this as an opportunity so save his family in at least one universe. There are complications of course; there is a version of him in each of the universes he goes to and depending when he arrives that version might be a different age.
I enjoyed this series. It was very different to other time-travel/parallel universe stories I've seen; the sci-fi is limited to the device that makes the travel possible; every world is very much like our own and our protagonist is distinctly ordinary. His activity is limited to trying to help alternate versions of his family although emotionally he can't help behaving in ways that seem odd to them. This is a refreshing change. Pablo Derqui does a fine job as Eduard; sometimes playing two different versions of the character in the same scene. The supporting cast is fine too; most obviously Andrea Ros as Elisa and Mercedes Sampietro as Dr Everest. Overall I'd definitely recommend this to anybody looking for something rather different.
