Part II As Promised Back to Conchi


From the fleeting moment of Conchi’s rescue to the spotlight of Lisi’s cinematic journey, there’s a thread that ties it all together—compassion in action. While Eva’s Comet showcases Lisi’s talent as an actress, her real-life role as a protector of the overlooked offers a deeper glimpse into the heart behind the performance.

Conchi’s story didn’t end with survival—it opened a window into Lisi’s world, where the battered and forgotten find a fierce advocate. So, let’s take a moment to explore the off-screen passion that defines her just as much as her craft.

When I see an animal in danger, I have to help. It’s not a choice for me—it’s an instinct, a duty.

In a world where many turn a blind eye to the struggles of overlooked creatures, Lisi stands out as a beacon of compassion. For her, rescuing animals isn’t just an act of kindness—it’s a calling. The focus of this calling often falls on a group of animals few seem to notice or value: pigeons. “Hardly anyone sees them,” she explains. “And too often when they do, they don’t care, they do nothing, or worse, they hurt them.”

These birds, commonly dismissed as urban nuisances, have found an ardent defender in Lisi, who’s made it her mission to protect those “no one seems to care about.” Her dedication goes beyond sentiment. Lisi has often turned her home into a sanctuary, offering safety to pigeons in need. She invests significant time and money—covering veterinary care, food, and medication—to ensure their well-being.


Finding support, however, isn’t always easy. “Even vets and sanctuaries that will help are hard to find, even if you’ll pay for their services,” she notes. Fortunately, she’s discovered a handful of willing professionals in Madrid who share her commitment.


What drives Lisi to pour so much of herself into this cause? For her, it’s deeply personal. “Helping animals makes me feel aligned with my moral compass. It makes sense to me. It makes me feel good.” This sense of purpose fuels her tireless efforts, particularly for pigeons, a species she admires for their resilience. “Pigeons are very tough. They can live in just about any weather conditions. They don’t hurt anyone and are good for the environment.”

She’s right—pigeons help with seed dispersal, nutrient recycling, and serve as biodiversity indicators in urban settings. Yet, despite their hardiness and ecological benefits, she points out a stark injustice: “Many birds are protected by the government. Pigeons are not.”


Through her actions, Lisi shines a light on the overlooked and undervalued. Her story is a reminder that compassion can thrive even in the face of indifference, and that one person’s calling can make a difference—one pigeon at a time.


Now that you’ve gotten a glimpse of Lisi the actress, dive into Eva’s Comet to see her in action—where compassion, empathy, and a fierce edge blend into the kind of performance that marks her as one of the greats!
