In the middle of the 20th century, a small town in Andalusia becomes an international high-society meeting place: Marbella.

A rapid rise begins, which seems to know no bounds thanks to the gushing petrodollars. And yet it almost fails due to one of Spain's biggest corruption scandals. How did glamor and scandals shape the once insignificant coastal town? How was it able to retain its charm and appeal despite profound phases of decline?
