Las dos vidas de Mina Índigo
Barcelona, 1888. On the eve of the Universal Exposition, Mina Índigo is the most sought-after spiritualist medium in the city, hosting séances for wealthy society ladies in her mansion on the Pasaje Permanyer. But her gift is a performance: Mina uses the secrets her clients confide in trance to gather compromising information she can leverage against them.
When a murder shakes Barcelona's elite, Mina is drawn into the investigation alongside Dr. Ellis, a British forensic pathologist newly arrived in the city. Together they move between glittering parties at the Liceo opera house and the darker streets of the Raval, chasing a killer before the scandal — and the blood — spreads further. An unexpected attraction grows between them even as the case deepens.
Mina's carefully built double life is further threatened by the return of Inspector Bocanegra, the best friend of her late husband, who has never forgiven her for the accident that nearly killed him. Blending gothic atmosphere, noir intrigue and historical mystery, Las dos vidas de Mina Índigo is a suspenseful portrait of a woman navigating two identities in a city on the brink of change.
