About La madrastra
Marcia has grown bitter and full of resentment after being framed for murder 20 years ago during a visit to the United States. As soon as she gets out of jail she comes back to Chile to recover what was taken away from her and search the real killer of the incident that costed several years of her life.
Directed by Arturo Moya Grau, La madrastra leans on a strong ensemble — Jael Unger, Walter Kliche, Sonia Viveros — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about soap titles of 1981.
