Paulina
and Paola, two women alike physically but very different
emotionally, stumbled on each other and realize how equal they
were. Paola Bracho is a vain, heartless, selfish woman,
married with Carlos Daniel, a bankrupt entrepreneur, blindly
spellbound by Paola. She betrays him with many other men, but
he didn't realize it. In one of her long trips, Paola stumbles
on Paulina, and realizes they are alike, but Paulina is very
poor, and works in a restaurant restroom.
Soon, Paola's fertile mind, has the idea of sending Paulina to
Bracho's house for 1 year, so she could take advantage of a
long trip with her lovers, while Paulina pretends to be Paola
at Brachos house. Paulina surely doesn't accept, but Paola
racketeers her with her dirty methods and finally she
persuades Paulina to accept her plan. At Bracho's house,
Paulina pretends to be sick, so being sick, she could't sleep
in the same room as Carlos Daniel. It proves that she has
greatness, but she can't hold her feelings and she falls in
love with Carlos Daniel, even though, she refuses to slepp
with him.
Time goes by, and Paulina had become a strong basis for
Bracho's family, integrating every member of Bracho's family,
and making them happy, but not to Carlos Daniel, that denys
the new honest and great Paola Bracho. It hearts Paulina,
because she loves him more and more. Paulina remakes Bracho's
Company, and makes it grow again, winning the love and respect
of everybody at Bracho's house, but not Carlos Daniel's. The
time limit fixed by Paola was expiring and Paulina decided to
run away, so she started to work as a nurse in an old lady's
house. Carlitos, Carlos Daniel's son runs away either to find
Paulina, but h efalls over a hill and looses his memory, but
he is found by good people who tries to help him to find his
family. Paola comes back home, and everybody realizes that
she's the real Paola, but soon she gets fed up Bracho Family,
and she runs away with her lover Douglas Maldonado. When
Paulina findS out what happened with Carlitos she decides to
go back to Bracho's house pretending to be Paola, to find
Carlitos.
Finally Paulina finds Carlitos, but everybody thinks she was
the one who kidnnaped him. Leda tells the Police Paulina
kidnnaped Carlitos, and they go to Brachos house to take
Paulina to jail, but Carlos Daniel protects her, telling
everybody she's Paola. Paulina can't stand more lies, and she
goes to the police to tell the truth, and goes to jail for a
while. During she's on jail, Carlos Daniel realizes he loves
her, and he tries to take her out of that place, but she
doesn't believe him. During her judgment , Paola appears and
tells that everything was Paulina's fault, and Paulina agrees
because she thinks Paola is sick, but an ancient Paola's lover
who met Paulina in Cancun (where all this story got started)
tells everybody the real story and Paulina is finally
absolved. Paola tries to run away but her car crashes and she
goes to the hospital, and Paulina stays with her all the time.
When Paola is about to die, she asks Paulina and Carlos Daniel
to forgive her, and she asks Paulina to be happy with him.
After Paola's death, Paulina accepts to marry her lawyer
Edmundo Serrano, but when she's about to get married, she
gives up, because she knows she loves Carlos Daniel. When
Carlos Daniel finds out what happened, he goes to Paulina's
place and asks her to marry him, and she finally accepts, and
so they have a lot of children, and they'll surely be happy
forever.
