I haven't watched the series yet, so I won't give any stars, but for what I've read and seen in interviews about the experiences of these women absolutely breaks my heart.. I'm a current numerary member of Opus Dei, and I'm totally not falling for the "I love Opus Dei and want to defend it so I'll do a technical critique of it as a documentary" reviews, they don't convince even me. What breaks my heart is that members of my own family, which is Opus Dei, have hurt these women so badly. Clearly someone did something very wrong to them. I can imagine how I could end up giving the same kind of testimony if I would have been introduced to the Work through a manipulative bunch of people, which I know exist in it, as anywhere else. But mine has been an experience of genuine love and care, no matter if I stay or leave. And I want to stay, despite having been hurt quite badly at times by other members. I have been hurt in my childhood family as well, and I don't want to leave them either. My heart and prayers are with these women, I pray that they might find further peace and healing in their personal path. I also intensely hope that the people who treated them badly, intentionally or unintentionally, have seriously repented, and legally sued if necessary. We need to learn.

Spanish-language cinema across Spain and Latin America is united by its engagement with history, cultural identity, and social transformation. In Spain, films often balance artistic experimentation with popular genres while reflecting on memory, politics, and family. In Latin America, cinema has been deeply tied to questions of colonial legacy, resistance, and community resilience, ranging from intimate dramas to bold political allegories.
