She left everything behind and moved there after the disappearance of her daughter, Aurora, and her daughter’s friend, Blanca. That was twenty years ago. The girls were never heard from again and both families were devastated.

Over time, Flora has created a refuge in La Casa de las Amapolas, not only for herself but also for all those women who have suffered in some way in their past. There they will find a place where they can try to heal their wounds.

However, now that Flora’s son has also died, her daughter-in-law and granddaughter plan to move into La Casa de las Amapolas with her. This will disrupt the lives of the three women, stir up the past and bring to light the terrible truth of Aurora and Blanca’s disappearance.
