The story: Thus is ‘Carceleros’
It narrates the tense daily life of Adriano, a history graduate who decided to become a prison agent to follow in his father’s footsteps. Adriano is a conciliatory person who uses the word as his main weapon while his life passes between the walls and bars of the prison, subjected to threats and conflicts, always trying to maintain peace. But as if the moral dilemmas experienced inside the penitentiary were not enough, he also has to face the impact that the dramas of his profession have on his family relationships.
The story: Thus is ‘Morir de Amor’
Helena Karsten is a successful lawyer, self-sufficient, mother and estranged, who is diagnosed with a terminal illness. Her world collapses at the news, when she meets Juan Deseado, a charming and intriguing man. A great attraction is born between them, even though Helena begins to suspect something. As Helena falls in love, she begins to discover the truth about Juan: he kills terminally ill patients to spare them the suffering of the disease. And new questions begin to arise, is it possible to see goodness in a monstrous being? Is it possible for her to be attracted to someone who causes so much damage to other people? What is it that brings us closer to what we fear? The closer Helena is to Juan, the closer she will be to a painful and dangerous truth.
