Summary

The series is a detective drama adapted from the British production Life on Mars, in which a modern‑day police officer is abruptly transported to 1973. The Spanish adaptation shifts the setting to 1977 and adopts its title from the song “La Chica de Ayer” by Nacha Pop, mirroring the British version’s use of David Bowie’s “Life on Mars?”. It stars Ernesto Alterio as Samuel Santos, a contemporary police officer who finds himself in post‑Franco Spain under the command of Quin Gallardo (Antonio Garrido), a hard‑line, traditionalist inspector who dismisses Santos’s modern policing methods.
