In the role of Yolanda, a single mother who bears the weight of her frustrations on her daughter, actress María León (Seville, age 37) plays in the series ‘Heridas’, available on the Atresplayer Premium platform. The production tells the story of Alba (played by Cosette Silguero), a seemingly neglected seven-year-old girl who finds herself in an Andalusian wetlands with Manuela (Adriana Ugarte), with whom she embarks on an emotional journey that will take the adult character. confront her past and question the pillars of his life. Meanwhile, Yolanda works as a “pole dancer” at night and sleeps during the day, with a friend who isn’t looking after his partner’s daughter.

– Have you rated your character?
– No, because it would be a total mistake. We are committed to defending the characters and giving them a truth. When we judge them, we already show an opinion and not a soul.
“But do you understand his behavior?”
I walked with her and I understood her. I love Yolanda very much. I fully defend her. What I like the most is telling a character who lives and was born in a place where he has no tools and is very dishonest. It is much easier to judge than to defend. We don’t have that conditioned look, because when a person judges, it’s because he’s afraid. Yolanda may be poor in tools, but she’s not afraid. That has been my job: to defend against a soul that can and makes mistakes, but that feels and breathes. And she has to ask herself, put herself before herself and give herself a chance.
-It’s hard to play a mother who treats her daughter in an unconventional way, isn’t it?
She treats her daughter as she treats herself. He loves her and whoever says he doesn’t love her has a bad opinion. How can a mother not love her daughter? Of course it is, because there are many ways to love. She makes mistakes, she does better and worse, a series of events happen to other characters and, thanks to the terror and hell, she lives with the disappearance of her daughter, so she wakes up and decides to change and give herself a opportunity. Yolanda starts to watch the series dead, because she has nothing for her.
-How do you return home after playing this character?
-Very tired. The hardest part was keeping the emotional “chord.” Thirteen chapters we are stuck in a tidal wave of dirty water where you try to get your head out all the time. There she is, breathing, and I really enjoyed it. I was exhausted. I was tired of doing a two-sentence scene while sticking to this girl’s “chord.” That growth of pain and emotional darkness is what has cost me the most in the series. One of the most beautiful things about my character, and that I wanted him to be, is that he has dignity. They hit her hard, but she doesn’t judge herself, even though she knows she’s wrong.
Have you talked to your mother about motherhood?
-I talk about other things with mine (laughs). There are many kinds of mothers and many ways to love. It was clear to me that this character was real, and if it is, you can love in many places. If you don’t look after yourself and take care of yourself, you’re treating your daughter like a leg. She is a woman who is learning to be a wife and mother through her love for her daughter.
-Has your view of motherhood changed after what you saw in the series?
-It doesn’t change my view, I think motherhood is something complex and beautiful, just like life itself. It changes my view of society, which is very complicated, depending on where you were born. You have some chances or others; They give you some name. There I do wonder how hard it is to be a single mom.
-The girl also suffers in fiction.
-Because he lives the mother’s life. It’s hard to accept being in a dark situation. You’re standing in the mud but you don’t know when you came in. You have to realize to get out and the girl is the focus of the light to get out of the mud. She moves it. It is an impulse of love. His mother has a very animal concept of love. He loves her and doesn’t say it.
