However, their lives take a horrifying turn when they are kidnapped at gunpoint and forced to engage in sexual acts on camera under threat of death.
Though they are eventually released unharmed, the emotional toll leaves them unable to communicate with each other or anyone else. Ana becomes more resilient in time, consulting a psychiatrist and reconciling with Rafa. Despite the fact that theirs was a situation of coerced rape rather than love, Daniel’s emotional state remains troubled because he was not wholly repulsed by sex with his attractive older sister.
