3 Antonella by Marcela Citterio

DON’T THINK YOU KNOW ME… I’VE COME BACK TO INVITE YOU TO DISCOVER WHO I REALLY AM.

There is no more beautiful reign than the one that conquers a heart…

She was always the queen—the revered one, the feared one. Beautiful, charismatic, envied, and a role model to follow, Antonella, as a teenager, decided with a thumbs up or down whether you were in or out of what mattered at school—whether you belonged to the “divinas,” or were just another one of the popular crowd, which was the same as saying someone ordinary, not someone who stood out from the rest.

Owner of the sharpest remarks in distant times, today—already an adult—she still retains the beauty of those years, but feels no pride whatsoever in the history of “torment” she put more than a few classmates through.

Now a sommelier with international recognition, exiled for several years from her native country, she returns to settle the pending succession of the family home—the one she once shared with her parents, who died in a tragic accident. However, the past is an unfinished business that seems to follow her like karma waiting to be resolved… and then some!

The truth is that after her emotionally charged return home, she will not only reconnect with memories she sometimes prefers to avoid in order to silence a pain that still hurts too deeply, but she will also run into Lucio—her school crush, whom she once scorned more than once—now a successful and strikingly handsome architect who will put her feelings to the test, forcing her to face a question she never dared to confront back then: did she really not love him, or was she only pretending not to?

Her heart does not lie, and attraction beats at a rapid pace in the present with the same intensity it had a lifetime ago. But the price of forgiveness is high—especially when Gastón, Antonella’s idealized love from her early youth, bursts into the scene to become the third point of a love triangle that brings past and present passions head-on, creating entanglements, misunderstandings, breakups, and confrontations—now joined by Sabrina, Lucio’s girlfriend, who sees the beautiful professional wine taster as a rival to defeat.

Antonella is certain there is nothing left of the teenager she once was, but Lucio’s doubts—laden with pain—are afraid to take the risk and give her the chance to prove it.

Experiences can’t be erased, but there are two ways to live with them: by learning from them or repeating them. And for Antonella, there is a third option she refuses to let slip away—allowing the heart to be the one that writes everything still left to be lived.

Because people, too, can be “reinvented” – Antonella –
