The story tells about six women so different in temperament, appearance and social status who realize, all of a sudden, that happiness does not last forever. This is the story about their marriage scenes and every day life which is so boring and tiring to squeeze and stifle with home problems.
The six couples enter the family crisis and face real problems to change
their lives. Only Antonia, the wife to Patricio and mother to Pao seems
to live in a happy marriage. Pao is a young man suffering from car
accident consequence. Antonia resigns from working for Braulio and
starts-up her own real estate business. It is the sphere which is going
to be the shelter for a group of women with various problems who aspire
for better life.
First one is Rosaura. She is seeking a new job with
Antonia when she finds out her boss is looking for somebody more
vigorous to replace her. She serves for her life, though based on her
low sexual attraction and personal features; she is left behind by her
husband for the sake of a young girl who is twenty years younger than
him.
Bárbara, a sales-girl, lives in the horrible hell with the
mother-in-law who manipulates with her and James, her abusive husband, a
jealous and obsessive alcoholic, who enjoys applying physical violence
as the only approach to rule to stop her leave him. She is fragile woman
with low self-esteem in spite of her beauty. Her faithful friend Renato
recommends Antonia as a person who can render emotional help. Working
for Renato at his beauty salon, Yorley proceeds with her first working
day as a cleaner in Antonia’s place and as a part-time maidservant. She
supports David in everything, but when she realizes he is going to sell
their house without noticing her, she feels disappointed. David leaves
for another country, and left behind alone, Yorley finds support and
care from Leonardo Torres.
Maite is 28. She is a strong-willed woman,
clever and determined. She is too ambitious, competitive. When a new
vacancy on business-manager is announced, Maite expects to have it
though her husband, Jorge, is assigned for this position while she is
dismissed. She always competes with him and she is undermined with envy.
Desperately seeking for a new job, she realizes that the only place to
be employed is Antonia’s real estate agency. In a little while Maite
admits she is beaten by Jorge, a person close to her since the college
time, with whom she plans to make the dreams and who becomes a
competitor. Supported by all of them, Antonia manages to reconstruct her
own old house, build a new house and a new office for her real estate
business.
Valeria never loses an opportunity to accuse her husband of
hypocrisy. She feels like a golden bird in the cape who cannot escape.
Braulio takes the advantage of Valeria’s mother as a prostitute
promising a better life for her. Actually, she is the one who suffers
from psychological violence made by her husband and the son Sebastián.
She hides her great wish to study, work and get independent. And she
gets determined finally to show that she is a valuable to make her own
decisions. Bárbara, Rosaura, Yorley, Maite and Valeria take a refuge
from their pain and suffers supported by Renato, a stylist from high
society and a friend to all of them, though Antonia is the one who is
the real rescuer and the one to take her example. She seems to have
everything to be proud, including a marriage that seems to be ideal, but
is shaken when it gets impossible to hide the breast cancer from the
family not to shock them.
Six women get married to people with whom they
plan a long and happy life till their last day believing in happy
family when once a day they realize that they live in a wrong way.
Altogether, six women come to perceive the fact that happiness is not
something impossible to achieve but every single person needs to
struggle and dare to seek and find it themselves.

Lyrics
Mirame, ya me ves
Creyendome tan fuerte tan llena de vida
Dibujando sonrisas ante las miradas
Llevando tanto adentro y mil historias atrapadas
Mirame, y hazlo bien
No pienses que estoy loca si ando sola en este rumbo
Noo, no puedo dar lo que se me robo
Para volver a amar debo sentir que vivo y no andar huyendo
Para poderte dar lo que un día fue mio y hoy ya no lo encuentro
Hoy solo busco pedazos de lo que un día fué un corazón abierto
Y no por tí, no por mí, sino que el tiempo diga adios a algún recuerdo
Sé muy bien que intenté
Poder recuperar los trozos que me quedán
De este corazón que amo sin dar medida
Y que hoy vive con miedo y hoy anda a escondidas
Sé muy bien que no crees
Al verme tan segura y con las fuerzas que camino
Noo, no puedo dar lo que se me robo
Para volver a amar debo sentir que vivo y no andar huyendo
Para poderte dar lo que un día fue mio y hoy ya no lo encuentro
Hoy solo busco pedazos de lo que un día fué un corazón abierto
Y no por tí, no por mí, sino que el tiempo diga adios a algún recuerdo
Yo sé que de apariencias no se vive
A quien engaño yo?
No puedo amar, yo aún no puedo, no puedo
Para volver a amar debo sentir que vivo y no andar huyendo
Para poderte dar lo que un día fue mio y hoy ya no lo encuentro
Hoy solo busco pedazos de lo que un día fué un corazón abierto…
Y no por tí, no por mí, sino que el tiempo diga adios a algún recuerdo
