Kuka on raiskaaja, joka piileskelee instituutissa?
Netflix has just released one of the series that will be talked about the most in 2024. Based on the novel by Miguel Sáez Carral and starring Nicole Wallace, Clara Galle, and Aïcha Villaverde, ”Ni una más” follows the story of Alma (Wallace), a girl who one day decides to hang a poster in her school denouncing an abuser. ”Beware, there is a rapist hiding in there.”
Throughout eight episodes, we discover the story of this high school student, who is going through a rough patch in her studies, and her friends, who navigate between friendships, toxic relationships, crushes, and difficult family situations while deciding what to do after finishing high school.
With intertwined plots showing the abuse situations that women face every day, ”Ni una más” ends its season with a single goal: to make us reflect. Here is how the story of Alma, Greta, and Nata ends.
Who abused Alma?
The series begins with Alma hanging a poster in her school denouncing a rapist and with a social media post that reads: ”This was me before I was raped.” Gradually, we discover what really happened to Wallace’s character after going to a party, getting drugged, and disappearing (much to the despair of her friend Greta).
After seeing someone take her from the party while she was semi-conscious and how she tries to move on with her life, a trauma compounded by the fact that she is receiving sexual photos from an anonymous Instagram account, we discover that the culprit of the rape is David (José Pastor), her lifelong friend who is in love with her.
In a moment of confrontation, he claims that she also wanted to have relations with him because, in previous scenes, Alma says that initially she wanted to get back at the boy she liked (Greta’s brother) for not wanting to hook up with her by having sex with his friend. However, she had changed her mind, but being so unconscious, she was unable to react.
To his reproach, she tells him that a good friend would have taken her home instead of sleeping with her, and although their relationship is never the same, in the end, he decides to support her when she decides to confront the rapist at her school. It is then that we discover that, in reality, with the poster at the beginning, Alma is not denouncing her own rape, but other assaults that are happening in her school.
How Nata and Alberto end
Nata and Alberto (Gabriel Guevara) represent a toxic high school couple. While she is a friend of Alma and Greta, she usually spends her time with his friends, which involves listening to her boyfriend speak badly of her friends. Gradually, the relationship becomes more strained, partly because of his bad temper, partly because he shows no interest in keeping the romance alive.
The drama reaches its peak on Valentine’s Day, when she thinks she is going to have a romantic date with her boyfriend but, in a last-minute change of plans, they end up having sex in a room at a friend’s house. After finishing, without her having enjoyed it, Alberto tells her he is going to play video games with his friends, and she gets angry and leaves.
To make amends, she proposes a new plan: to break into a neighbor’s house and have a romantic dinner date. After finishing, they decide to start wrecking the whole house, which gives them an adrenaline rush that leads them to end up having sex on the couch. Unable to forget what they have experienced, they decide to repeat it in an abandoned house.
However, when she arrives there, she discovers that he has invited all his friends. Angry because she thought they were going to be alone, she goes up to the room, but then the whole group enters, and they propose to have an orgy. She tells them she doesn’t want to, but Alberto’s friends start approaching, unfastening their belts while he watches without knowing what to do.
Fortunately, the police arrive before they can do anything, and everyone ends up fleeing. When she confronts her boyfriend, he tells her that she had told him she wanted to do something like that, but Nata replies that it was just a fantasy and that she can’t believe he was going to let his friends have sex with her. After a thousand breakups and reconciliations, after what happened, and after discovering thanks to Alma that the one insulting her on social media and sending explicit photos to the protagonist was Alberto, Nata decides to leave him forever.
Greta’s love story
Meanwhile, Greta faces her own problem. Her family lost a lot of money, so they start selling drugs thanks to a plantation they have set up in their basement. One day, she is at the supermarket and meets a woman who asks her if she knows a drug dealer who can sell her something, to which she replies that she can do it herself.
After several meetings at the woman’s house to smoke, Greta starts to fall in love with her until she discovers that she is a police officer. Afraid that she has approached her only to arrest her family, she warns her brother to get rid of everything and meets her one more time, ready to sleep with her and then blackmail her.
However, the police officer tells her that she is not working, but she wants the weed for personal use, something that is proven when it is discovered that she is involved in crimes like the one Alma denounces in her school.
The school rapist
So, who is the rapist that Alma talks about on social media and accuses by hanging a poster in the school? Throughout the series, we discover that Alma had another friend before Nata. It is Berta (Teresa De Mera), a girl who changed schools and with whom Alma lost contact until they meet again in a shopping mall.
From then on, they begin to reminisce about what happened between them. Known as a compulsive liar, Berta had started having psychotic episodes, which had led to their separation. A few days later, after a suicide attempt, Berta confesses to Alma what is happening to her: she has been suffering from rapes by her history teacher (Iván Massagué) that have triggered the attacks.
Convinced that she is telling the truth, Alma decides to create an account with her to denounce the rape and help other girls in the same situation, and tries to expose the teacher by accepting the private lessons he had offered her, causing Berta to have another attack because she does not want her friend to get into such a dangerous situation. However, the lessons go by, and the teacher does not try to force Alma.
After telling her friend while they are on the bus, they end up arguing and getting off in the middle of the road, and while Wallace’s character tries to reason with her and assures her that she believes her even though her teacher did not try anything, Berta cannot take it anymore and decides to commit suicide by letting herself be run over by a car.
Later, the police tell Alma that her friend had psychological problems, but it could not be proven that they were related to the abuses she claimed to have suffered, as she had been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder when she was 12 years old. She also discovers that Berta had reported it even though she had told her that she had not told anyone, but it had been determined that the abuses did not exist.
Not knowing what to think, Alma decides to go apologize to her teacher after class when she discovers a student standing in front of his door, terrified, who has wet herself out of fear. Aware of what is really happening, she tells the student to run away and enters the office to tell him that she will tell the world what he is doing.
She then returns home and, with the help of her parents, writes the banner that, the next day, she hangs on the school’s door. ”Beware, there is a rapist hiding in here.” Gradually, the students join her, and finally, the police arrest the teacher after the statements of other girls who, helped by the Instagram account created by Alma and Berta, had decided to report their situation.
