La mujer en el espejo

La Mujer en el Espejo (The Woman in the Mirror) is a Colombian soap opera (telenovela) by RTI Television for Telemundo in 2004.

Thanks to the magic mirror, Juliana becomes the beautiful Maritza Ferrer, a chemical engineer capable of achieving everything she sets out to do with a smile.

The dance teacher, Paco Tapia, (Juliana's godfather and connoisseur of the secret of the mirror), advises her to flee; but the police start a chase.

A herbalist finds her and tries to steal some boots that she wore when she believed she was dead, but discovers that she is still alive and decides to heal her so that Maritza's family would reward her for saving her (not knowing that she was actually a fugitive from the law).

The murderer with the black gloves (Cristina) locks the door and Barbara, unable to leave, becomes nervous, slips and burns completely.

After a time in the hospital, Bárbara escapes with the help of Romero to the old cellar of the Empresas Mutti, where she sees herself in a mirror: her face was totally disfigured, and her hair had been burned.

Seeing her completely disfigured face, Barbara breaks the mirror and takes a glass to cut her wrists and commit suicide, because she prefers to die than to live like this.

But, she remembers the mirror and decides to steal it and becomes Maritza Ferrer to recover the Mutti companies and obtain Juan Tobías' inheritance.

6 months later, Juliana and Marcos are preparing for their wedding and Barbara decides to return after undergoing 4 surgeries abroad to stop being Maritza Ferrer.

The show ends 3 years later, wherein they are the parents of a boy and a girl (Juliana was pregnant before the shooting and did not know it) and they live happily.
