 Patito is ugly but pure-hearted girl, lives peacefully with her mother Carmen in Bariloche. She meets Matías - a boy whom she immediately falls in love with. Matías will also fall in love with Patito, i.e. her voice when she is singing and they will be together. However, when Patito knew him, she didn't believe that she had a chance with him. Then she must travel with her mother to the country's capital city for some medical exams. In the hospital, Carmen surprisingly meets Leandro (Juan Darthés) the love of her life, and also the father of Patito. Neither Patito nor Leandro know this. The exams don't go very well, so Patito has to stay 3 months for treatment, instead of the week Carmen was planning. Leandro suggests Paito goes to the school which his mother directs when he revealed her talent to sing. As soon as she arrives there, Patito meets Antonella. Antonella, who is talented, sexy, and beautiful girl, but also cruel, arrogant, prudent, and very dominant, will become the worst enemy of Patito, calling her "ugly" and preventing from making friends with Matías. Patito feels terribly bad, and realizes Matías is also on that school. The bad news is that Matías is completely in love with Antonella.
