La embajada (transl. 'The Embassy') is a Spanish thriller television series created by Ramón Campos and Gema R. Neira. Starring, among others, Belén Rueda, Abel Folk, Raúl Arévalo, Úrsula Corberó, Chino Darín, Amaia Salamanca, Maxi Iglesias, Megan Montaner, Alicia Borrachero and Tristán Ulloa, the plot concerns a political intrigue of corruption happening in the Spanish Embassy in Thailand.

Premise

Set in the Spanish Embassy in Bangkok,[1][2] the plot tracks the events unraveling in the diplomatic mission after the arrival of the new ambassador Luis Salinas (Abel Folk) and his wife Claudia Cernuda (Belén Rueda), that would end up with the imprisonment of the former a year later on charges of money laundering, embezzlement and influence peddling,[3][2] including the legal problems of the ambassador's daughter Ester (Úrsula Corberó) with drug possession,[4] the love affair of Claudia with her daughter's boyfriend Carlos (Chino Darín),[5] or the demand for kick-backs for the construction of a high speed train line.[6] Claudia starts assembling the parts concerning what happened by testifying in the trial.[3]
