Three people from different centuries are recruited by a mysterious organization whose purpose is to make sure that the history of Spain proceeds as it should. A 16th century soldier, a 19th century university student, and a 21st century paramedic, each bring to the table indispensable talents and a shared courage that bind them into a formidable team.
I have developed a mild obsession with Spanish drama over the last six months and whilst I've enjoyed Grand Hotel and Velvet, the Ministry of Time is something very special. Cleverly written, beautifully acted it has so much depth to it, it has taught me about Spanish history but still managed to retain warmth and heart and not be just give facts. It has made me laugh and genuinely weep, it makes you consider so many things in life - would you want to know your fate and how you die? I can't recommend it highly enough.
