The big day arrived, the first recording & everyone was filled with expectations and illusions. I felt like it was the first day of school I had butterflies in my stomach anticipating what was to come. I remember when we were recording the love scenes with Micala and Carmelo (I was Micala and my friend Eduardo was Carmelo); Eduardo couldnt look me in the face without turning red. These are some of the best memories that I keep my mind and my heart.

Toque Mágico, tras este nombre de magia, hay un grupo de chicos y chicas que al enterarse de un gran proyecto se llenaron de ilusión y entusiasmo. Ahí comenzó el arduo trabajo; se realizaron capacitaciones con el fin de recoger historias y experiencias también visitamos colegios y ahí fui dándome cuenta que el machismo era muy fuerte en nuestra provincia y que las chicas creían que era algo tan normal.

Participants are filled with excitement after participating in this project. They become aware of their capacities allowing their stories to unfold. We visited schools & I realized sexism was very prevalent in our province and girls viewed it as normal.
