Plot
editFrom account of Eduardo de Guzmán's testimony, the plot moves back to 1933 Madrid, developing the story of Aurora Rodríguez and the path that led her to kill her daughter, wunderkind, sexology specialist, and progressivist pundit Hildegart Rodríguez Carballeira,[2] conceived by Aurora as the fruit of eugenicist utopia.
