 This romantic saga features Hugo de Medina, a handsome, mysterious swordsman, with a reputation as a womanizer. His life crashes around him when he finds he suffers from catalepsy, an incurable condition marked by loss of voluntary motion. The same disease felled his father years before.
This dashing young man meets Soledad de Obregon, a gorgeous, refined
girl and the two are bound together by sudden passion, though matters
are complicated by Hugo's desire to hide his infirmity.
As the adoring couple prepares to marry, tragedy strikes again.
Hugo’s sinister brother, Alcides, who has always been in love with
Soledad, betrays him and steals his betrothed. The rest of the
telenovela deals with first Hugo's quest for vengeance and then his
attempts to regain the trust and love of Soledad.
