Hello, friends of the seventh art! A few days ago, while looking for something to watch, I came across my list on Netflix and I saw that it had a series called Valeria. Reading reviews, I found out that it is a series inspired by the books by Elisabet Benavent, a saga of four books, which I am now very interested in reading. The series is quite fresh and erotic. You connect with the characters and see yourself reflected in some of the feelings they experience. The whole story takes place in Madrid. At first, I thought it was based on the protagonist Valeria, played by Diana Gómez, and her romantic misadventures, but as the story unfolds, you see that it's about the friendship between four women: Lola (Silma Lopez), Nerea (Teresa Riott), and Carmen (Paula Malia). I really came to envy the connection between these women and how they enjoy alcohol.
Ella es Valeria, nuestra protagonista, una escritora, a la cual se le a ido la inspiración, esta perdiendo la conexión con su esposo, ella intenta reavivar la llama de la pasión, pero cada personaje esta viviendo situaciones difíciles que le impiden conectar con el otro, en esa ir y venir de la historia conoce a a Víctor (Maxi Iglesias) un super galán y seductor protagonista, el cual la seduce con su sola presencia y su olor.
She is Valeria, our protagonist, a writer who has lost her inspiration and is losing her connection with her husband. She tries to rekindle the flame of passion, but each character is going through difficult situations that prevent them from connecting with each other. In the ebb and flow of the story, she meets Víctor (Maxi Iglesias), a super handsome and seductive protagonist, who seduces her with his mere presence and scent.
Les presento a Lola, la mas extrovertida sexualmente hablando del grupo, es una mujer alegre, de relaciones abiertas, la que da los consejos mas espontáneos, tiene una relacion con un hombre casado, el cual según su perspectiva se llaman cuando quieren estar juntos, en el desarrollo de la historia se da cuenta de algunas cosas, que la hacen cuestionarse si eso que tiene es lo que quiere de una relacion, Lola es la chispa de extravagancia de la historia, Este personaje me hiso reir en muchas oportunidades.
Let me introduce you to Lola, the most sexually extroverted member of the group. She is a cheerful woman with open relationships who gives the most spontaneous advice. She is in a relationship with a married man, which, according to her perspective, means they call each other when they want to be together. As the story unfolds, she realizes certain things that make her question whether what she has is what she wants from a relationship. Lola is the spark of extravagance in the story. This character made me laugh on many occasions.
Carmen la mas romántica del grupo, la que tiene mucho tiempo sola y añora un romance y lo que viene con ello, esta muy enamorada de un compañero de trabajo (Borjas), pero el hombre parece no estar interesado en ella, sin embargo ella insiste en coquetear con el, aunque a veces pasa por unas situaciones vergonzosas, que la hacen dudar si el tiene interés amoroso en ella, trabaja desarrollando campañas publicitarias y pues desborda creatividad, tiene una personalidad dulce, pero muestran una faceta real de la mujer cuando se hace madre, una faceta que las que somo madres hemos vivido y nos hace cuestionarnos nuestra maternidad y profesionalismo.
Carmen is the most romantic of the group. She has been single for a long time and longs for romance and everything that comes with it. She is very much in love with a coworker (Borjas), but he does not seem interested in her. However, she insists on flirting with him, even though she sometimes finds herself in embarrassing situations that make her doubt whether he is romantically interested in her. She works developing advertising campaigns and is brimming with creativity. She has a sweet personality, but they show a real side of women when they become mothers, a side that those of us who are mothers have experienced and that makes us question our motherhood and professionalism.
La mas pragmática, la que busca la solución mas coherente, que no siempre es la mas divertida, busca la pareja perfecta para ella, no la que la complemente , si no la que se parece mas a ella para así hacer un super equipo y tener la familia perfecta, también quiere emoción en su vida pero la estabilidad y lógica esta por encima de eso, es abogada pero no le gusta el derecho cosa que descubre en el transcurrir de la historia, creo que este personaje es el que experimenta mas ese autodescubrimiento, el que deja de lado ese sueño de vida que tenia desde chiquita y comienza a disfrutar de la vida de otra forma sin perder su esencia. Nerea es o aparenta tener el control de cada aspecto de su vida pero sus amigas la hacen ver las cosas desde otro lado. encuentra el amor que busca pero también otras cosas.
The most pragmatic one, the one who seeks the most coherent solution, which is not always the most fun, looks for the perfect partner for her, not the one who complements her, but the one who is most like her so that they can form a super team and have the perfect family. She also wants excitement in her life, but stability and logic are above that. She is a lawyer but does not like law, which she discovers as the story unfolds. I think this character is the one who experiences the most self-discovery, the one who lets go of the dream she had since she was little and begins to enjoy life in a different way without losing her essence. Nerea is, or appears to be, in control of every aspect of her life, but her friends make her see things from another perspective. She finds the love she is looking for, but also other things.
Estas cuatro mujeres viven amores y desamores, viven crisis existenciales, crisis laborales, enfrentan desafíos en todos loa ámbitos de su vida, pero su amistad permanece intacta, su amistad las ancla a la realidad y las lleva a ver desde los ojos de sus amigas lo que están viviendo, pelean, se dicen verdades a la cara, pero al final siempre están juntas, no se rompe ese lazo que las une, no se juzgan, solo se acompañan y se quieren. De verdad que es una serie entretenida, alegre, que nos muestra el valor de las personas que están a nuestro lado, si buscan algo así les recomiendo verla.
These four women experience love and heartbreak, existential crises, work crises, and face challenges in all areas of their lives, but their friendship remains intact. Their friendship anchors them to reality and leads them to see what they are going through through the eyes of their friends. They fight, they tell each other the truth to their faces, but in the end, they are always together. The bond that unites them is unbreakable. They do not judge each other, they just accompany and love each other. It really is an entertaining, cheerful series that shows us the value of the people who are by our side. If you are looking for something like that, I recommend watching it.
