El sueño de la actriz
2023-04-13 · 12 min · ★ 2.0
At the age of 17, she had the opportunity to appear on television, but she didn't, due to her insecurities. Sylvia remembers it as the day she almost fulfilled her dream of being famous thanks to her own songs. Using a camera that was at her side at all times, she documented her entire life: her children's childhood, her days as a physical education teacher, family vacations, but above all the private moments, where she allowed herself to act, sing and talk to a public that was not there.
