Patricia Álvarez attended an elementary A2 language course at the Technical University of Ambato's Languages Center from September 2013 to February 2014, taught by Isabel Ruiz. When Patricia was 13, she and her friend Miguel enjoyed making movies together using dolls. Their first film featured dolls attacking a planet, which Patricia's cousin who worked in movies thought was interesting. Miguel and a friend later screened one of their films in their country on the last night, which was very good. Their second film depicted girls walking in the park on a last afternoon.
