This is a story of the Del Junco family, ruled by Rafael, a powerful and despotic man; his wife Clemencia, who tries to escape from reality with the help of drugs; and their daughters Maria Elena and Matilde, victims of the oppression of their father, who is a pillar of the society in public, but in his private life reveals his low instincts.
Maria Elena was seduced by Alfredo Martinez, an addicted gambler who
ran away from the city to avoid paying his gambling debts, leaving the
girl pregnant. When Don Rafael finds out about her pregnancy, he wants
her to do abortion, but it's too late, so he sends her to his manor, so
that the baby is born over there. Not waiting for his daughter's refuse
to give the boy for adoption, he orders the foreman to kill a newborn.
Maria Dolores, the faithful nana of Maria Elena, saves the baby and
runs away with him to Mexico City. Don Rafael thinks that the boy is
dead, while Maria Elena dedicates her body and soul to look for her son
with the help of Aldo Drigani, whom she will marry later, after he
saves her from several conflicting situations. With many sacrifices,
but with a great mother's love, Maria Dolores raises the little Alberto
and he grows up into a good man. He becomes an excellent medical doctor
and soon he will be transferred to Merida, where he will face a past he
never thought of, and a future that he never looked for.
