 In the beautiful town of Tequila in Jalisco there is a fire of great love, the same pure and strong as the distilled drink named after this town. Teresa Hernández called Gaviota (Seagull) is a field worker who is travelling with her mother Clara across the country from field to field for work. Every year they come back to Tequila for cropping agava in Montalveña Estate belonging to Don Amador, the Montalvo mayor and the owner of Tequila Production Company.
At the very beginning of this story Don Amador is informed he will die
soon. And he wants to spend his last days in this Estate he loves so
deeply.
When Amador dies all his family gathers throughout the world
for his funeral. Thus his grandchildren Rodrigo and Aaron come from
London where they are receiving their Doctorate Degree together. They
are cousins who have lived and brought up together since their birthday
as brothers.
But grandfather’s will becomes a start for Aaron ambitions. His desire
now is to control the family business, as the elder cousin he is the
first heir at law. At the same time he trusts Rodrigo because he knows
Rodrigo has never been able to fall in love. Gaviota’s arrival to
Estate when they both are there changes Rodrigo’s life forever.
Being a famous handsome Dandy Rodrigo is fallen in love for the first
time in his life when he sees Gaviota, and she replies to his feelings.
They are full of passion and surrender themselves to this feeling. When
Rodrigo is leaving for London where he must finish his education and
get Doctorate he promises Gaviota to come back in a year and marry her.
Soon after Rodrigo’s leaving Gaviota understands she is pregnant. As
the young girl knows nothing about the worlds and the distance between
Mexico and London she decides to go to London in order to find Rodrigo
and inform him this news. The local photographer promises to help
Gaviota but he sells her to slave traders instead, who send her to
Paris house of prostitution.
The brave young girl manages to escape from this kind of
prison. Being completely alone and without language, with only her love
and trust she starts her search of the man she loves. She meets a
generous Italian who will help her; at last she comes back to Mexico
with a religious group of English religious fans leaving all pain and
disappointment in the past.
Her life in a big city full of evil, lie, somebody’s ambitions which
could turn her suffered heart into a stone hasn’t changed her. She is
still kind, passionate, trustful and feeling love.
