Villa del Prado, nestled in the mountains of Madrid, served as the refuge of Diego Herrera, a powerful pharmaceutical magnate. After losing his wife Isabel during childbirth, he dedicated his life entirely to his daughter Carmen, who was born with severe cerebral palsy.

After many failed babysitters, Elena Morales, a 28-year-old physiotherapist, appeared. Her approach was unusual: she spoke of magical games, of linking mind and body, of tiny steps that could awaken the impossible.
Diego wasn’t fully convinced, but Carmen’s radiant smile persuaded him. Within two weeks, the girl had changed: she laughed, dreamed, and even spoke of one day running around the garden.
