Lobos sucios

In 1944, in a Spain impoverished and almost annihilated by the Civil War, Manuela and Candela are two completely different sisters who live in a little town deep in Galicia. Manuela only wants to live in peace and heal her sick little daughter Alba, but her younger sister Candela steals little amounts of the wolfram (a mineral used in World War II for tanks and fire weapons) she extracts in a mine to sell it on the black market, trying to get money. She also helps Bryan, an English agent of British Intelligence living secretly in the town, in an attempt to close the mine used by the Germans with General Franco's permission, to move all the wolfram they can to Germany, to expand their weaponry. Manuela reluctantly collaborates with Candela to contact a former guerrilla, Miguel Peña, to organize the mine workers (all them Franco's prisoners from the Civil War, condemned to penal servitude to avoid being executed) to dig a secret tunnel to steal the wolfram, but their plans turn more complicated when Candela starts to help fugitive Jews get to Portugal to impress young Englishman Edgar; and Franz, German supervisor of the mine, shows a love interest in Manuela, stirring up jealousy in Miguel. Can the two sisters stop the Germans before Franz realizes that Manuela and Candela are double agents?

From here, Andy, with no sense of fashion at all, begins a fish-out-of-water drama as she is thrown into a lifestyle full of the fast-paced, three-inch-minimum heel height, diet Coke and coffee substance abuse. Andy works really hard to deal with Miranda's endless unimaginable demands. She even becomes trendy and classy. However, she gradually finds she is working 24/7, and soon her life with boyfriend, Nate, and best friend, Lily, is slipping away from her. Then, she realizes that she is losing what really matters.
