CHARACTERS
FIRST MENSTRUATION OR
NEW MOON
For many girls, it is associated with shame or pain, when in fact it marks the beginning of a profound transformation: a moment of growth, of connecting with their identity and the strength of the women who came before them. New Moon transforms this moment into a magical journey, where what once seemed like a feared secret is revealed as a luminous power.
THE GOOD BLOOD
The blood of life, of the female cycle, of fertility, renewal, and connection with the moon.
It is the blood that creates rather than destroys, flowing in harmony with nature.
It marks a cycle of renewal, the beginning of a journey toward womanhood and life.
THE THOUSAND DAYS´ WAR...
THE BAD BLOOD
The blood shed through violence, destruction, and hatred.
It is the blood of the fallen, the blood that corrupts, interrupts life, and weakens even the ancient spirits.
Bad blood silences, devastates, and weakens, leaving only the echo of fear.
This was one of the bloodiest conflicts in Colombian history (1899–1902), leaving entire towns devastated. Amid this violence, women were used as instruments of power, denied their voices and their most intimate nature. Even menstruation was seen as something to be hidden, as though being a woman were something to be ashamed of. New Moon reclaims this memory and transforms it into a story in which feminine strength flourishes, even in the midst of war.
THE MAGICAL CAVE
It is a place of mystery and transformation where, guided by the old woman, Margarita discovers her first menstrual blood and confronts her fears about her identity. Within this dark, secret-filled space, the most magical moments of her journey unfold: discovering her true self and awakening to her womanhood. It is, in fact, a metaphor for her own womb.
