 Lucas is a happy adolescent, romantic, impressive and
full of projects. He is in love with Jade, a young Arabic girl. But the life
didn't run well for him: he separates with Jade and within the twenty- year
period that have passed since the date they parted, he undertook sea changes:
he looks differently, his projects are lost by the way, he has no
more the tenderness and the romantic attitude to life, and lyrical nature he
had before. He is now emptied from inside. Jade, on the other side, has lived
all this time imagining that her life would be much happier if she had married
him. Twenty years later they meet again. Jade gets upset, trying to find, in
the forty year-old Lucas, what is left from the person she once fell in love
with. That's when the clone appears, made by Lucas' godfather without his
knowledge, the geneticist Albieri. The clone is not Lucas, but it is the image
that Jade loved during her whole life. We have then, an uncommon love triangle
when Lucas becomes the rival to himself. The clone changes completely the lives
of other characters of this telenovela.
