Having no father, she was raised in a monastery with other orphans. She dresses like a boy and is crazy about soccer, kicking other team's players' legs to score a goal. The priest of the parish, father Manuel, calls her "Cholito", after a well-known Argentine player of the 60's. Milagros turns 18 and she cannot stay at the convent anymore. She must leave her friends, find a job, and start a new life. There is an opportunity. Father Manuel finds for her work as a maid in a big mansion, Solitude, owned by the powerful Di Carlos family[16].
