A story of reinvention, struggle and truth:
Since its appearance in The pelican's smileCristina's figure gradually gained ground in Spanish popular culture, but her path to fame was filled with both ups and downs. The same spontaneity that catapulted her to fame also led her to walk a tightrope, facing misogyny, public ridicule, and the difficulties inherent in being a trans woman in a deeply conservative context. The excesses, controversies, and betrayals didn't stop her from shining, but Cristina's life was marked by a constant struggle for her identity and for her right to be loved and accepted as she was.

Poison, from Adra to the stars It's not just a biography: it's a declaration of love for a woman who was much more than a television personality, a woman who left an indelible mark on the culture and collective memory of a society that didn't always know how to handle her magnitude. A story of reinvention, struggle, truth, and, above all, authenticity.
