Welcome to the stage of life. I love you

In the series, Tuñón embodies a teenage Moria grappling with intense experiences. One notable scene depicts her in ballet attire, practicing in a garage, only to later face psychological evaluations that lead to recommendations for electroshock therapy. The young actress portrays the desperation and drama of this period, including a scene where she is dragged through clinic hallways by medical staff while crying for help.

The series dramatizes a real event from Moria Casán's life, who has spoken about undergoing electroshock therapy at age 13 because she felt "different." Tuñón's performance transitions to her mother, Sofía Gala, who plays the younger Moria on the cusp of stardom, highlighting the generational connection within the narrative.
