She fell in love with a man, and developed anorexia and bulimia in her attempts to improve her physical image.

She attempted to commit suicide when her boyfriend left her, but was stopped, and started a treatment to be cured of her bulimia and anorexia.

This gave her the idea to write a book about her eating disorders, her rocky relation with her old boyfriend, and her attempted suicide.

[1] The book was a big success, and Latini was interviewed at several TV and radio programs about it, including Almorzando con Mirtha Legrand.

She pointed that the film is more focused on the love story, while the book has more detail about the eating disorders.
