Summary:
La fascinante aventura de una mujer silenciada por la historia oficial -- hasta ahora. Cuando a la directora teatral Noelia Cid le encargan estrenar Sortilegio, la obra perdida del reputado dramaturgo Gregorio Martínez Sierra, decide informarse sobre ella a través de los documentos que conservó su mujer, María Lejárraga. Sin embargo, a través de su investigación Noelia no sólo se sumerge en la compleja relación amorosa entre María y Gregorio sino que va a encontrarse con un misterio que lleva más de un siglo sin resolver. Se verá entonces arrastrada por la vida llena de pasión, arte y feminismo de María, alguien que luchó contra viento y marea por ejercer su vocación y que vivió en primera línea los grandes hitos del siglo pasado: el Madrid literario de los años veinte, el París de la Belle Époque, la lucha política de las mujeres durante la Segunda República, el exilio tras la Guerra Civil, la ocupación de Francia por los nazis o el glamour de la época dorada de Hollywood.
