Summary

La apasionante historia de una mujer que lucha por rebelarse contra el sistema establecido en el Madrid anterior a la Segunda República.

¿De qué serías capaz por cumplir tus sueños?
¿Qué tenía que hacer una mujer para lograr los suyos
en la España de principios del siglo xx?

Madrid, primeras décadas del siglo pasado. Elisa Montero, aunque de origen humilde, es criada desde niña por su madrina, una adinerada y misteriosa mujer perteneciente a la alta burguesía madrileña. La sensación de no pertenecer a ningún lugar y de cierta rebeldía ante los designios que otros han trazado para ella será algo que marcará su vida.

Elisa no solo buscará liberarse de las limitaciones que le imponen su condición de mujer y su posición social para lograr convertirse en periodista, sino que intentará tomar las riendas de su destino y entregarse al verdadero amor. Como testigo, la rabiosa y convulsa actualidad de una España entre guerras que la acompañará en su lucha por conocerse a sí misma y sobreponerse a sus propios prejuicios.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The thrilling story of a woman who rebels against the system established in Madrid before the Second Republic.

What would you be capable of doing in order to accomplish your dreams?
 
What did a woman have to do to accomplish her own dreams in early 20th-century Spain?
 
Madrid, the first decades of the last century. Elisa Montero, of humble origins, is raised from a young age by her godmother, a wealthy and mysterious woman who belongs to the Madrid bourgeoisie. The feeling of not belonging anywhere and of a certain rebellion against the plans that others have made for her will be something that will mark her life forever.
 
Elisa isn’t only seeking to free herself from the limitations imposed on her by her social position and as a woman by becoming a journalist, but she will also take the reins of her own destiny and surrender to true love. Witness to this is the tumultuous society of Spain between wars, which accompanies her in her fight to know herself and overcome her own prejudices.
