In a Mexican mining village, circa 1940, lives María de la Canela
nicknamed Marianela. She is a dirty and rather plain orphan who's
despised by the villagers for her poor appearance and because they
think she has inherited her mother's mental illness. Marianela's mother
killed herself by jumping in a creek and it is there that the poor girl
goes to hold conversations with her mother's ghost. The only person who
cares for Marianela is rich boy Pablo.
Pablo is blind and Marianela
becomes his guide. Because he is unable to see his helper, he imagines
her to be incredibly beautiful and won't hear any opinions to the
contrary. Pablo's father has arranged his marriage to Florentina, the
notary's daughter. The marriage is planned for after the operation that
Pablo will undergo to restore his sight. Tomás, a leading
ophthalmologist has advised that Pablo should travel to USA to be
operated. Meanwhile Florentina and Marianela become friends. Pablo's
operation is successful and he returns hoping to marry Marianela.
However, when he sees her, he is appalled by her looks. He turns to
Florentina who fulfill his ideal of feminine beauty, but she's fallen
for Carlos, a mining engineer married to a frivolous woman. A desperate
Marianela tries to kill herself and is rescued by Tomas who starts
educating her and trying to teach her to wash herself and dress better.
It just happens that during his instruction period, Tomás falls for
Marianela.
