Ana Higueras. His Marola is an excellent, young singer at the start of her career. She captures well the moment where a "head in the clouds" girl turns into a woman, and makes a good foil to set against Ausensi's weather-beaten father. And though a lack of technical perfection surfaces occasionally in her performance, she sings the sensual first phrase of "Marinero vete a la mar" with adorable simplicity, and her spoken confession to Leandro "Yo soy de un puerto lejano" is movingly acted.
