Love in time lapse: The touching story of Ana and Oscar
Today, November 6th, 2025, the eagerly awaited series “Ana and Oscar” celebrates its premiere in the ARTE media library. Rosenheim24 reports that the story is about Ana (Iria del Río) and Oscar (Francesco Carril), who get to know each other at a New Year's Eve party in Madrid. Both protagonists not only celebrate the turn of the year, but also have their birthdays on these days - Ana on January 1st and Oscar on December 31st.
The series offers a unique look at their relationship by being told over ten years, with each episode taking place a year later. This narrative style allows viewers to follow the challenges and developments in the lives of the two main characters from their thirties to the harbingers of their forties. Above all, it is the parallels to David Nicholls' novel “Two in One Day” that become clear and give the questions about love and time a new, emotional spin.
A look at the narrative
Ana and Oscar not only have to deal with the realities of their own lives. While Ana comes from an intact family with two sisters, Oscar is struggling with the effects of a divorce and is completely on his own. This imbalance in their family backgrounds reflects the challenges that many people in similar life situations experience. The relationship is sketched out in detail over the years as they meet each other in the 48 hours around the turn of the year. This structured approach, tied to significant calendar dates, creates a unique framework for the narrative.
The series is directed by the talented director Rodrigo Sorogoyen, whose style is known for his precise collective sequences and long takes. According to IMDb, “Ana and Oscar” captures small gestures and emotional silences that generate intimate, authentic moments between the actors. The chemistry between Iria del Río and Francesco Carril is remarkable, reflecting the joy, doubts and pain of their characters.
Broadcast details
The entire first season of “Ana and Oscar” will be available in the ARTE media library from November 6th, while the last five episodes will be broadcast linearly on November 27th, 2025 at 9:45 p.m. Viewers can look forward to an emotional experience that is described as extraordinary and unforgettable, as stated in the report on Rosenheim24. Regardless of whether you are interested in the small facets of everyday life or in the big themes of love and time, “Ana and Oscar” is sure to leave a lasting impression.
