Imagine that World War III is about to break out and a group of billionaires take refuge in a luxury bunker: Kimera Underground Park. This bunker is the setting for 'El refugio atómico' ('The fallout shelter'), the new series by Álex Pina and Esther Martínez Lobato that began filming today.
From Kimera Underground Park they will watch on screens, in a show full of perplexity, how the world they knew is collapsing over their heads. And while outside the situation becomes more and more terrifying, they will enjoy their exclusive little city with basketball court, restaurant, zen garden, cocktail bar, psychologist's couch, gym and spa. That is what their mythical privileged status will be reduced to: to adapt to living in a luxury hole, in a subterranean universe full of enigmas in which the pending accounts of two families, pierced by a wound of the past, will explode.
The inhabitants of this shelter will be played by Miren Ibarguren ('Todos mienten'), Joaquín Furriel ('El reino'), Natalia Verbeke ('Ana Tramel. El juego'), Carlos Santos ('El hombre de las mil caras'), Montse Guallar ('Sé quién eres'), Pau Simon, Alicia Falcó ('Las buenas compañías'), Agustina Bisio, and Álex Villazán ('Alma'), among others.
