Synopsis
[edit]Ka Ina tells the story of two women linked by superstition, magic, and their relationship with one man. Catalina Miranda is an engineer educated in Europe; Maniña Yerichana is a jungle priestess born to a Dutch gold digger and a Yanomami woman. Catalina and Maniña become rivals over Ricardo Leon, a man from the capital city. Although they appear to be the same age, Maniña and Catalina are mother and daughter, a fact that is not widely known. The story incorporates elements of folklore and legends.[5][6]
