Description

A trio of compact narratives set in turn‑of‑the‑century Madrid offers a vivid glimpse into the private worlds of three women. The stories move from the hushed corridors of a convent school to the bustling streets of the capital, each one stitching together moments of affection, ambition and quiet rebellion. Their tone balances light‑hearted amusement with a subtle critique of the social expectations that shape their lives.

The opening tale follows two young scholars, Susana—a wealthy orphan of striking talent—and Valeria, whose shadowy origins raise uneasy questions among the convent’s caretakers. Their bond, forged amid lessons in music, art and languages, is tested by the stark contrast between Susana’s well‑documented fortune and Valeria’s enigmatic past. As whispers grow about hidden debts and hidden motives, the girls must navigate loyalty and suspicion in a setting that prizes propriety above all.

The remaining pieces continue to explore love’s many faces and the moral trials that accompany desire, inviting listeners to reflect on the delicate dance between personal longing and the roles imposed by society.
