Thorns of the soul

Victoria becomes an orphan because her father, Don Lucio, died. She does not have good communication with her mother, Raquel. She looks for, and finds a job as a store employee, and at the same time she finishes her high school. There are memories from the past that cause her to seek out and create her destiny. She is avoiding from her family, her friends and from her boyfriend Aurelio. These and other stories, and this character and others are going to mix, and configure a complex crucible from the actual Paraguayan reality.

Directed by Enrique Collar, Thorns of the soul leans on a strong ensemble — Katherine Catolino, Luis Zorrilla, José Peréz Chaves — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2002.
