Available Summary:
"The plot follows two women in two different timelines: Julia (a 30-year-old woman in current-day Spain who has inherited a house in the mountains from her father) and her grandmother Carmen, who lands in 1950s Equatorial Guinea, then a Spanish colony." -Wikipedia.
Notes from Jack:
In this Spanish soap opera, trans actor Kenai White plays a trans male character who is initially known as María but comes out as FTM and transitions. From what I have been able to read online, the character eventually chooses the name Dani. Dos vidas is a very long show, and Dani comes out in episode 132.
According to Marvin, who reached out to provide this recommendation (thank you, Marvin!) Dani's transition takes a while to get off the ground, so he's referred to as "daughter" and with she/her pronouns for quite a while, although his mother quickly adjusts and accepts him, once she is aware of her son's true identity.
With a Norwegian VPN and a website translate extension (to translate subtitles into English), I'm able to watch Dos vidas episodes here.
