Sunrise is a gripping series set against the backdrop of Alicante, where a web of tough issues unfolds from the shadows of violence, land use, and political scandal. The central narrative follows a protagonist whose life is shaped by a troubling experience, with sexual abuse appearing in the foreground and the broader political and economic currents circling in the background. Viewers are pulled into a tense conspiracy as the search to uncover the fourth man behind a troubling event becomes the thread that ties everything together, while the lead character already has knowledge of the other three.

The series centers on a young woman who is assaulted on a family holiday return to the city. The pursuit of truth about the fourth man drives the plot, revealing a network of complicity and power. The tension builds as confidences dissolve and the past resurfaces in dangerous ways, often echoing real-world issues faced by communities in the region.

Alicante locals will recognize the landscapes and beaches depicted in the Alba series, with the coast around La Vila Joiosa offering some of the most iconic vistas. The area is also home to historic landmarks like the Xarco watchtower, perched on the coastline, which often appears as a visual touchstone in the productions. (Source: regional film office notes.)
The filming that shapes Sunrise is not new to these locales. Earlier projects have used the same settings, and in recent months another feature film commenced shooting nearby with Greta Fernández starring alongside Alex Lora, reinforcing the area’s appeal for contemporary cinema and television alike.
