“We want to show the modern Mexico,” she explained during the presentation of the series that will hit screens on September 13, “That Mexico showing a sophisticated corporate culture, politics, traditions… A city that is cosmopolitan, vibrant, interesting, culinary,” she added. Monarca follows the story of the Carranza family, owners of a business empire based in the production of Tequila in a world full of corruption and violence.

The 53-year-old actress and producer pointed out that the series’ plot is universal, “We talk about family problems that happen in many other countries because when there is power, there are similar dramas.” And this is exactly the starting point for Monarca, when Ana María, one of the Carranza siblings, attempts to take charge of the family business in a world dominated by men. “She is a professional, a very clever woman, and when she gets the chance of doing something huge, that will also imply big problems, she asks herself: ‘can I do it?’,” Salma said about this specific part of the plot, “I think this is something all women in the world are going through right now, and I hope that this serves as an inspiration to remind us that we can do absolutely everything.”
