Story
El árbol de la sangre interweaves two stories set 25 years apart in the Basque Country of Spain. In the present, Rebeca and Marc, a troubled couple, travel to Rebeca's grandparents' house to write about their respective parents' pasts in hopes of resolving their own relationship issues. Twenty-five years ago, Macarena, Rebeca's mother, was a famous rock singer who retired after becoming pregnant. Meanwhile, Nuria, Marc's mother, was forced to leave her summer house due to threats from a Russian mob looking to use it as a headquarters. Macarena later meets Victor, a fan who falls in love with her and assumes Rebeca as his own daughter. Concurrently, Nuria works as a literary editor, meets Amaia, an aspiring writer whose first novel becomes a hit, and marries Olmo, Victor's brother. As the story progresses, it's revealed that Macarena suffers from mental illness, Victor struggles with drugs, and Amaia's marriage to Olmo crumbles due to his past connections with the Russian mob. Amaia decides to write a novel exposing their secrets. The ghosts of the past threaten Rebeca and Marc's relationship as they uncover these forbidden passions, betrayals, love affairs, murder, and infidelities that even affect Rebeca herself. The couple must navigate these revelations to save their love.
