Julieta
is a ten year whose closest friends are two boys named Pedro
and Cristobal, the heirs of the prosperous hacienda "El
Castillo". Genaro Valencia, the boys' father, is against
their friendship because he considers Julieta to be beneath
them. Near "El Castillo" lives a painter named
Gabriel Almada. A series of circumstances will force him to
become the guardian of little Julieta. Shortly after, he
leaves town with his ward. The years go by and we find that
Julieta is now a brilliant physician. Driven by her
loneliness, Julieta decides to set up her practice in her
hometown. Gabriel, wanting to be near her and protect her,
decides to follow her. Once they have settled, the past comes
back to haunt them. Genaro's hatred toward Gabriel is
rekindled, for he has always known that the painter was his
wife Sofia's true love. His son Pedro shares his hatred
because he once saw Gabriel kissing his mother. Now, he is
doubly hurt when he realizes that his childhood friend is
under the influence of this man, whom he considers despicable.
Genaro brings his niece Nadia to "El Castillo" to
live with them. He expects to solve his financial problems
with the fortune that Nadia has recently inherited. Meanwhile,
Julieta discovers that her innocent childhood friendship with
Pedro has turned into a deep and true love which Pedro also
feels, but are separated by Nadia who wants Pedro for herself.
Alone and heartbroken, Julieta takes refuge in Gabriel who, by
now, has realized that his paternal love has grown into an
obsession for the young woman. Julieta is torn between two
conflicting emotions: her burning passion for Pedro, and the
peaceful, secure love that Gabriel offers her. Now, Julieta
must choose between these two loves, which have haunted her
throughout her life...
