Don Alfredo Barrantes – the despotic and bloated landowner. The village La Magdalena is situated on his land and he exploits the inhabitants of this village cruelly and enslaves them. Full of hatred La Magdalena inhabitants rise in rebellion against the landlord and kill him at one night. They damn him and all his successors. They don’t know Dolores to have been raped by Barrantes and be pregnant from him. Dolores is managed to escape from the estate and and bears a baby (a girl) far from home.
After some years when Dolores dies her little daughter Carolina comes
back to Estate Los Cristales. She doesn’t know whose daughter she is,
she has no idea the damned blood is running in her veins. She comes
back as the daughter of Dolores. And she lives in the estate having no
rights. She is just a daughter of housemaid, and she is a housemaid.
The Alfredo Barrantes estate is now in the hands of former manager Don
Joaquín and his wife Dona Leonor, grandparents of Luis. They know who
Carolina is in real, but they don’t tell this. They are going to keep
it in secret for their own interests. Meanwhile the inhabitants of La
Magdalena have seized the power over the village and are waiting for
Barrantes legal successors to come for their property.
But since Carolina entered this house for the first time when she was
8, she has a love, even when she doesn’t know about it. David falls in
love with Carolina from his very time he sees the girl of 8. Carolina
is very lonely in this house, so she can’t lose the only friend she has
here- David. Years has passed, she becomes a young girl and she answers
the Davids feeling. But Dona Leonor is against this feeling. She
doesn’t want the Barrantes blood to be replicated again. IN spite of
all Dona Leonor's efforts to prevent this love, two young people find
the way to see each other.
IN order to stop these relations Dona Leonor sends Carolina to Bogota
to study. Carolina lives there in the house of Dona Leonor’s grandson
Luis and his wife Virginia. Virginia is a daughter of a wealthy
businessman connected to mafia Mario del Castillo, so Luis can allow to
leave Carolina in his big house. But the problems are waiting for
Carolina here. Virginia is sterile. She can’t bear a baby for her
husband while she desires to do. And Virginia invents a cruel way how
to have a baby. She plans to impregnate young girl without her
knowledge. And when Carolina bears a baby she can adopt him and name
her own son from Luis. And she does this.
When Carolina realizes she is pregnant she is in despair. How
that could be done? She had now close relations to any man, she is
still a virgin. But it happened that the husband of Virginia – Luis
also falls in love with Carolina. When he knows the truth about a trap
his wife to make for Carolina, he turns into a guardian of a young
girl.
At the same time the inhabitant of La Magdalena find out who is
Carolina and they plan to kill her in order not to lose all the
illegally seized property they have. They hatch a plot for killing some
persons. What will happen to Carolina then? We will see…
