Bold, uninhibited, and strong-willed, Carmen lives life on her own terms. She’s the woman who everyone wants—but she wants nothing but freedom. After she escapes trouble by seducing Don José, she sets her eyes on the bullfighter Escamillo. But when Don José’s jealousy finally catches up to Carmen’s fiery act of betrayal, her freedom will lead to shocking consequences.
