She is more than a mother, she is a heroine – a warrior who gave everything for her children and their life. But one day, some men arrived at the farm and destroyed everything, in their quest for territorial control, and they snuffed out what little life there was left in this mother.  They killed four of her fourteen children, for fun and out of pure envy. Now she lives sad and alone with Don Ricardo, who has been her angel since the end of the war.
