Determined to follow in her footsteps, she returns to Spain and adopts a man’s disguise and the name Nico, to film her first film, Zapatos de ella. Always hiding from her is not easy for her and tired of the society in which she lives, she decides to go to Paris at the beginning of the twenties, where the climate of freedom brought about by the end of the First World War seems to make it easier for her. to women. There she will meet two imposing women film directors: Musidora and Germaine Dulac, from them she will learn not only the trade, but how to confront the prejudices of the time and will finally achieve her dream of making a film with her own voice.
