On several occasions she settled in Madrid, where things did not go well for her, and she was forced to return to the town, to her parents' house.

Pedro Cenjor comments that “The wedding It is a film that talks about the need to love and be loved in environments in which emotions are hidden deep inside and arise from secrets hidden and accepted by the different characters, whose decisions teach us how the hidden essence in each of them emerges.

The producer and CEO of El Sueño Eterno Pictures, Patricia Gonzalez, explains what this new project means: “When the script for The wedding, I was surprised by what human beings are capable of doing to pretend to be what they are not. How we live pending to be liked, liked, or do the politically correct thing, even if we pay a toll as high as never being happy. We have normalized speaking badly about someone, inventing situations without looking at the consequences that this can entail. I think that the evolution of these two characters (one pushed to his limits by his chaotic life, and the other by the control they have over theirs), is a lesson in how you can move forward if you find in your life the person who is capable of giving you everything, even if you are not able to pay the same. The importance of healing past wounds, breaking insurmountable barriers and loving oneself.”
