In this preview, some of the iconic moments that have captivated readers of the novel for over 50 years come to life on screen: the founding of Macondo and the arrival of Melqu ades, the tensions of family life, the passions of the towns inhabitants, the emergence of political conflicts and the ensuing war, and the chestnut tree where Jos Arcadio Buend a fulfills the prophecy of his solitude, unleashing a rain of yellow flowers.

With eight episodes, the first part of One Hundred Years of Solitude is one of the most ambitious projects in Latin American history. The series was entirely filmed in Colombia with the support of the Nobel laureates family.

About One Hundred Years of Solitude:

Married against their parents wishes, cousins Jos Arcadio Buend a and rsula Iguar n leave their village behind and embark on a long journey in search of a new home. Accompanied by friends and adventurers, their journey culminates with the founding of a utopian town on the banks of a river of prehistoric stones that they baptize Macondo. Several generations of the Buend a lineage will mark the future of this mythical town, tormented by madness, impossible loves, a bloody and absurd war, and the fear of a terrible curse that condemns them, without hope, to one hundred years of solitude.

Published in 1967, One Hundred Years of Solitude is one of the emblematic works of Gabriel Garc a M rquez, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982. Considered a masterpiece of Spanish-American and universal literature and receiving enormous popular acclaim, it has sold more than 50 million copies and has been translated into more than 40 languages.
