Verano azul (1981)
Polish title "Niebieskie lato"
Although in communist Poland we had two TV channels (unlike in Portugal) there was not much to choose either;( This TV series was very special not only because it was Spanish but because it was about very universal values: love, friendship, family, respect and tolerance. It was unusual because in communist Poland the Spanish cinematography was represented by Carlos Saura movies. Of course there were other so called "Western productions" for children (like TV series "Kidnapped" or "Robin of Sherwood") but "Niebieskie lato" ("Verano Azul" in Polish) was broadcasted one year after the end of 1981 Martial Law i.e. in 1983. It was somehow cheerful and optimistic also because it was proving that children could have a happy and normal life nonetheless of turbulent history i.e. the end of the old regime in Spain.
