Episode 3
S1 • E3 Apr 25, 2023
After a passionate and fleeting courtship (of only two months), Bárbara marries Ángel Cristo, a well-known circus entrepreneur and lion tamer. Together with him she begins a new artistic career as an elephant tamer and she will become the mother of two children, Ángel and Sofía. The idyllic relationship soon transforms into a hell of abuse and humiliation resulting from Ángel's addictions and jealousy towards Bárbara. Furthermore, Ángel's infidelities continue and Bárbara is unrecognizable; she finds herself increasingly trapped and nullified. Years later, Ángel and Bárbara sign a separation agreement, but he continues to appear at her house, making her life impossible and turning her children's childhood into hell. Bárbara strives to return to work as an actress and one night, after trying to kill her, Ángel throws her out of the house and stays with her children. It is the moment when, finally, she decides to denounce what she is experiencing.
