In "The Flower of My Secret," Paredes played a chic romantic novelist seemingly at first a fish out of water in the village where she was born.

Later came starring roles, most notably in in Agusti Villaronga's "In a Glass Cage," (1986) but also Mexican Arturo Ripstein's "Deep Crimson" (1996) and "No One Writes to the Colonel" (1999) and Guillermo del Toro's "The Devil's Backbone" (2001).
