Una vida Bárbara

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.

In the early nineties, Bárbara lives the second stage of her relationship with the King in the monarch's best moment (Seville Expo, Barcelona Olympics...). Instead, she has to pawn jewelry to make ends meet. The work resists. Soon the shocks arrive, the house where the couple met is full of cameras and, at the request of the King, they change the meeting place to Barbara's own residence. From here on, a series of shady events take place (espionage, recordings, blackmail...) and Bárbara will make a series of decisions motivated by negative influences that will lead her, years later, to be threatened with death. Suddenly, María García, the girl who left Totana to become an artist, finds herself involved in a power war, extortion, blackmail and video tapes. Everything exploded in 1997 after the theft from her house of sensitive material (photos, audios and videos...) They say that they bought her silence, she has a very different version of herself.
