IN the midst of one of the most debated conflicts by television audiences, the character of María Fernanda arrives in the current Cuban soap opera So far and so close. Victim of her husband’s betrayal, the pregnant woman played by the talented actress Carolina González López staggers in a dissatisfied love circle of three.
The followers of the delivery that reaches the screens of our country on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights on the Cubavisión channel and under the magnificent direction of Loisys Inclán and Alberto Luberta, have developed groups on social networks where they express their criteria on this plot of polyamory in the novel and in today’s society.
There are millions of messages that support the actress in her role, who decides to end her marriage relationship, still in the process of gestation, upon discovering the double love life of her partner (David).
The 25-year-old from Havana, although it is not her first participation in the medium, reveals herself on Cuban Television with this well-conducted performance, where the character works from the flattest to its periodic acceleration based on the climax point of the dramaturgical trance.
“I had already worked on television in after the footprintin the program bail me out and in the telefilm Forward; under the direction of Iran Hernandez. However, this role So far and so close It is the one that has given me the greatest public recognition. Although at first I did the casting for the character of Dianelis —David’s lover—, then they proposed to me that of María Fernanda, I did the audition and they granted it to me».
Despite being a distant interpretation of the personality of the actress, who affirms that she has no absolute gift for painting, or for sewing; and that she is rather the “explosive type of person”, and not patient and calm like María Fernanda, this role does present a point in common with Carolina.
«Personally, I have nothing against polyamory. I don’t practice it, but I understand it, as long as it is based on respect and truth. The divergence between the character of David and María Fernanda is not precisely the issue of polyamory, but the selfish way he has of approaching it with my character, who lives oblivious to what was happening for a while and is not given the opportunity to choose if you wanted to be part of this plurality. If there is something similar between María Fernanda and me, it is the total disagreement with betrayal and lies.
There are some detractors of the way of exercising the teaching by the character embodied by the charismatic young woman in the soap opera. However, he states that “Maria Fernanda’s way of educating is what many teachers should assume today. The teachers who have contributed the most to my professional career are the ones who were least condescending to me and contributed to my preparation through constructive criticism».
Since she was a little girl, Nina —as everyone in her house calls her— liked to imitate the actresses in the movies. «My first link with the performing arts was in dance. I danced flamenco for nine years. At the same time I always liked to act, but as a role play, imitating roles that I saw. I did some plays with my friends for the school mornings».

«Many people think that it is a career away from acting, but I don’t see it that way. I think that one of the working tools of an actor is the intellect. This specialty is very attached to art and general culture and has helped me to nurture myself with tools to be able to work. As an actress I have grown since I am in that school».
Nina is a beautiful and cheerful woman, but at the same time uncompromising and with fresh and daring ideas; which largely comes in her genes. Her good taste coupled with her strong character is due to her grandfather, René González, “El Rubio de Mery”, a personality both during the guerrilla struggle against Batista, and after the revolutionary triumph. She remembers him as «a faithful lover of culture, a very cultured being and a histrionic person. She liked to sing and recite poetry. To him I owe my great memory retention and my love for history and acting.
Among the new projects where we can enjoy the participation of the actress in the coming months is the play Orland of the El Público Theater Company; to which she belongs, and will have her first leading role in the film corrosiveunder the direction of Alfredo Ureta.
«corrosive It is my first foray into film as a leading man. The experience was rewarding. The work team is very professional, both the filmmakers and the cast. The plot unfolds in the story of two couples who spend quarantine in a house on the beach. The conflict is related to very current issues about freedom in the couple relationship.
Carolina González is one of those who says that what is “essential is the character, not the medium.” However, she would like to venture more into the cinema. Among her references in the seventh art is Carlos Saura and she is a fan of the leading role of women in this artistic manifestation.
The follower of Latin American poetry considers herself a “feminist to the bone” and among her literary idols are the Cuban Dulce María Loynaz and the Uruguayan Idea Vilariño.
He is a thoughtful person and affirms that “spirituality is essential to balance the mind.” Doing yoga, listening to rock music, watching movies, reading and researching esoteric topics are among the young woman’s hobbies.
Despite the fact that the role she would most like to play in the near future is a dramatic period character, the talented artist declares that she would also love to do comedy.
