Plot
Set in the beautiful beaches and the capital of the Dominican Republic, this melodrama revolves around the young, provincial Angelica Santos (Scarlet Ortiz) who works in the local tobacco hacienda "La Guzmana". Angelica leaves her home to get away from her unscrupulous aunt, and goes to Santo Domingo. Then she joins a beauty pageant sponsored by Guillermo Guzman and there she meets and falls in love with Antonio Guzman. Their love is quickly torn apart by Antonio's brother and Angelica's aunt, who conspire against them.
