As she becomes drawn deeper into that world, a series of unsettling events pushes her into a nightmare where trust becomes a trap and true horror lurks behind the people closest to her.<\/span><\/i><\/b><i><span lang=\"EN-GB\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-GB\">\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-GB\">Sof\u00eda Ferrara is thirty-eight years old and feels as though her life is falling apart. Single, childless, and subjected to her mother\u2019s constant criticism, she drifts through an existence marked by loneliness, dissatisfaction, and frustration. Her only refuges are meditation and the white candles she lights every night in search of a little peace. When she meets Lisandro Garrido, she believes she has finally found someone capable of understanding her. However, after an intense love affair, he vanishes without a trace or explanation. Shortly afterward, Sof\u00eda discovers that she is pregnant.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-GB\">The news plunges her into a profound crisis. She does not want to face motherhood under such circumstances. She lacks a support network and struggles to maintain a life that already feels unbearably heavy. As she tries to decide what to do, disturbing events begin to occur. An elderly woman in a hospital points at her and delivers a terrifying warning: \u201cThe wolves will eat you.\u201d From that moment on, recurring nightmares, strange presences, and impossible occurrences begin to infiltrate her reality, as though an invisible threat has fixed its gaze upon her.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-GB\">Amid the uncertainty, she meets Lucrecia Mart\u00ednez, a waitress who claims to be going through a pregnancy similar to her own. An immediate and profound friendship develops between them. Lucrecia becomes the only person who listens to her, supports her, and offers the comfort she desperately needs. Convinced that she cannot continue with the pregnancy, Sof\u00eda decides to seek an abortion and goes alone to an underground clinic. However, just as she is about to undergo the procedure, an inexplicable force seems to take hold of her. Driven by an impulse she cannot understand, she flees and decides to continue the pregnancy.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-GB\">As she tries to adapt to her new reality, the harassment she suffers at work reaches unbearable levels. Constantly humiliated and pushed to her limits by a cruel and ruthless boss, Sof\u00eda once again clings to the one thing that has always brought her comfort: candles. What begins as simple rituals of protection gradually evolves into increasingly darker practices. When some of her wishes appear to come true in disturbing ways and a series of misfortunes strikes those around her, she begins to wonder whether it is all coincidence or whether she has truly awakened forces capable of altering reality.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-GB\">Obsessed with discovering what happened to Lisandro, she consults a tarot reader, who reveals a truth as impossible as it is unsettling. According to the cards, Lisandro is under the control of a woman connected to witchcraft, someone capable of manipulating him and bending his will. Convinced that she can save him, Sof\u00eda performs new rituals in an attempt to free him. Soon afterward, Lisandro reappears. Yet his return brings neither answers nor relief, only new threats and the certainty that the danger surrounding her is far greater than she ever imagined.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-GB\">As the pregnancy progresses, the warnings begin to make sense. Wolf masks, eyeless dolls, supernatural apparitions, and prophetic dreams intertwine to form a disturbing puzzle. Then Sof\u00eda uncovers the truth that has been hidden from the very beginning: nothing that has happened to her has been the result of chance. Not her relationship with Lisandro. Not the pregnancy. Not even the appearance of Lucrecia. Everything was part of a carefully orchestrated plan.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-GB\">The final revelation is devastating. Lucrecia was never pregnant. The woman who became Sof\u00eda\u2019s friend, confidante, and greatest source of support deliberately chose her in order to get close to her. Unable to have children of her own and obsessed with motherhood, she constructed a perfect lie to gain Sof\u00eda\u2019s trust and use her as a means of obtaining the child she had always wanted. Behind that friendship lay a conspiracy fueled by years of frustration, secrets, and witchcraft.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-GB\">When the time comes for the birth, Sof\u00eda is kidnapped and separated from her newborn son. Trapped in a nightmare that seems impossible to stop, she realizes that the real wolves have been around her all along. Amid a spiral of violence, manipulation, and madness, Lisandro finally confronts those who have kept him under their control for years and helps Sof\u00eda escape. The final showdown unleashes a devastating tragedy that consumes everything in its path, culminating in flames, betrayals, and sacrifice.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-GB\">Five years later, Sof\u00eda lives with her parents and raises her son far from the horrors that shaped her past. She has managed to rebuild her life and find a form of happiness she never thought possible. Yet the wounds left by that experience remain open, and the memory of what happened continues to cast a troubling shadow over her existence, reminding her that some obsessions survive even death and that certain evils never completely disappear.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span lang=\"EN-GB\">\r\n<b>RELEVANT INFORMATION:<\/b> Vanesa O'Toole is an Argentine writer, screenwriter, and editor.
