How Dreams of Freedom opens
In the opening sequence, Begoña Montes escapes through a forest with her stepdaughter, Julia. She has just become the wife of Jesús de la Reina, a prominent regional figure whose wealth stems from Perfumerías de la Reina, a leading cosmetics company. The pursuit begins as Begoña holds fast to the plan of a new life away from a brutal marriage.
The pursuit intensifies when Jesús confronts them in the forest. Shots are fired as the tension peaks. The narrative raises questions about the motives behind the violent act and the consequences for Begoña and those around her, inviting viewers to consider the dynamics of power, fear, and autonomy in a restrictive era.
