It has been three centuries of Spanish rule. Three hundred years in which the discounted of the population of New Spain has grown along with their suffering by injustice, exploitation, poverty and inequality. It is in this Mexico that begins to awaken which frames the love story between Mariano and Teresa.
United not only by affection, but especially by the desire to see their land free, their paths follow the history of Mexico's independence and freedom. The show depicts the lives of three families, de Soto, de Muñiz and the widowed Juana de Foncerada and her five adopted children. Mariano Foncerada will face Don Pedro to defend Teresa de Muñiz, whom he loves, and Pedro seeks to destroy him, without suspecting that Mariano is his son.
