[edit] Synopsis
Cristina Alvarez is a sweet and young woman, loved by everyone at "El Platanal", a beautiful property whose owner is Severiano Alvarez, her father, who is a man of the field and of strong character. In this place, Diego Hernandez works as a foreman. He is a strong and handsome-looking criollo who is in love with Cristina, and she, due to the love she also feels for Diego, gives herself to him. Later on, when Severiano finds out Cristina is in love with Diego and that they made love, he is about to kill her, but he spares Cristina when she tells him she is pregnant.
Severiano banishes Cristina and Raquela, her servant, to go to Villahermosa, the Tabascan capital, and have the baby there. By the management of Federico Rivero, little Maria del Carmen comes back to the hacienda as Raquela's daughter.
Years pass by and Cristina, in order to be with her daughter, is forced to marry Federico, an ambitious and cruel man. And from then on, she is to be for everyone Maria del Carmen's "godmother". Federico provokes an accident which leaves Cristina blind, and this way, the fortune of Cristina's family passes to his hands.
Federico is happy upon the arrival of his nephew Carlos Manuel to the hacienda. He is a young, handsome, and daring man who has recently completed his studies of medicine overseas.
Carlos Manuel falls in love with Déborah Falcón, without knowing she is the lover of his uncle. When Federico finds out about this relationship, he opposes and finds the way to separate Déborah from his nephew. Simultáneously, María del Carmen falls in love with Carlos Manuel ever since the moment she met him, provoking the hate in Déborah, who, along with Federico, try to separate the young couple. The only thing they achieve from all of this is the distancing between the two lovers, but they haven't been able to destroy the love that Maria del Carmen and Carlos Manuel feel for each other.
Carlos Manuel finally has his teacher, friend, and specialist in oftamology to revise Cristina's case of blindness and see the possibilities of operating her. Dr. Angel Luis Robles secretly falls in love with Cristina and has a great interest in helping Cristina recover her sight again. The two form a very special friendship and love despite Cristina's marriage to Frederico. Angel-Luis does everything he can to keep Cristina safe until his untimely demise, even though Federico makes it hard. Federico, with the hopes of having Maria del Carmen in his possession at whatever cost,tries to abuse her, but Cristina will not allow it.
This amazing story will take us to a series of surprises and emotions, in which the pure feelings of the human being are reflected, giving way to the true love, the love that can only be felt when one says "Embrace me, Tightly".
