SYNOPSIS

A coach journey through the European community provides the backdrop for the series, the starting point of which is a prize draw organised by a bank for its customers. The prize is a tour around the then twelve member countries of the EEC visiting the capital cities. The lucky winners hail from different parts of Catalonia and Valencia. Given the nature of prize draws, the resulting group is very mixed indeed: a cultured retired couple from uptown Barcelona, a just-married couple, a family which owns a hotel in Palamós on the Costa Brava, two girlfriends from Valencia, a teacher of Ethics politically inclined towards Catalan independence, two dancers from Barcelona’s cabaret district...... all of them guided by a novice tour guide and a loud-mouth driver.

The series starts off with a dinner which the travellers organise to celebrate the journey’s end. It’s a typical “end of” dinner which allows jumping backwards and forwards in time with each episode. The first episode is the obligatory character presentation episode whereas the twelve remaining episodes follow the characters on their journey through each of the EEC member countries.

The treatment of the characters is both ironic and tender, in much the same way as the early theatrical shows by Dagoll Dagom (given that the musical content of the later shows would be at odds with the series’ characteristics).

The scripts are the work of Joan Lluís Bozzo, with the collaboration of Tricicle’s Paco Mir. The TV direction is by Eduard Cortés. Produced by Sese Espona for TV3 and Anna Rosa Cisquella for Dagoll Dagom.
