Paola is the beautiful, self-involved
and shallow wife of Carlos Daniel, a successful industrialist fallen on hard times. When she encounters Paulina, her mirror-image
double, Paola devises a scheme in which she forces Paulina to take her place in the Bracho household - as Carlos Daniel’s
wife - so that she can be free to travel abroad with her lover. Paulina is kind and sensitive, and she is deeply troubled
by the part she is forced to play in this deception. She is determined to do everything in her power to bring a ray of hope
to the Bracho family. In addition to saving the family business from financial ruin by helping Carlos Daniel become more confident
and assertive, Paulina surrounds his children with love and affection, and helps their alcoholic grandmother combat her addictive
behavior. As Carlos Daniel feels a renewed love for the woman he believes to be his wife, Paulina is unable to resist falling
in love with the man she has been actively deceiving. Unfortunately, just as their love is beginning to blossom, Paola returns
unexpectedly from her trip and decides to resume her rightful place.
