•
Drama, Fantasy
SIEMPRE BRUJA (in English, ALWAYS A WITCH) is the tale of Carmen Eguiluz, an Afro-Latina witch living in 1600s Colombia. Carmen is sold as a slave to a wealthy family in Cartagena and soon begins a love affair with their son, Cristobal (Lenard Vanderra). Carmen finds her life in danger when Cristobal's mother accuses her of using witchcraft to seduce her son, and she's nearly burned at the stake -- except for the intervention of enigmatic wizard Aldemar (Luis Fernando Hoyos), who uses a time-travel spell to save Carmen. The series follows Carmen as she adjusts to her new life in 2019 Cartagena, where she tries to carry out the task Aldemar assigned to her in exchange for her life (while also dodging a witch hunter, Lucien) and counts the minutes until she can be reunited with her lost love, Cristobal.
