 Jovanka, the only daughter of the patriarch of the gypsies, returned to the town of Malarribo to take a revenge for the offense that she suffered in her youth. Deep in her heart she keeps the resentment and bitterness because she gave her body and soul to a "gayo" (nongypsy man), Rafael Domínguez, son of the richest and powerful family of the town, but he humiliated her, leaving a mark in her heart forever. But her appearance of the cold and arrogant woman will change when she meets Juan Domínguez, brother of Rafael, who will wake up her feelings that she believed dead. Jovanka returns to the town with her 3 adoptive daughters: Maria Sashenka, Maria Salomé and Maria Magdalena whom she is determined to defend at the cost of everything, so they don't undergo her same destiny. But ironically Maria Salomé will also fall in love with a "gayo", Sebastián, son of Rafael Domínguez. Maria Salomé and Sebastián will live an intense and pure love and in spite of everything, they will defend their love until the end.
