Born into a humble family of Galician peasants, Carolina Otero decided to run away from home at the age of ten after suffering sexual abuse. In her personal quest for happiness and success, she traveled to countries such as France, the United States, and Russia, earning a living as an exotic dancer under the stage name "Bella Otero." In her eagerness to climb the social ladder, she became the mistress of very influential and powerful figures. Her true identity, age, and origins remain a mystery to this day, which she herself took care to perpetuate. Adapted from a fictionalized biography by Carmen Posadas.
