Plot
Cristina (Victoria Ruffo) is a sweet and tender young girl, loved by everyone in "El Platanal", a beautiful estate owned by Don Severiano Álvarez (Joaquín Cordero), her father, a tough country man with a rigid character. Diego Hernández (Osvaldo Ríos), a strong young man who has fallen in love with Cristina, works as a foreman in this place. Given the love that Cristina also feels for Diego, she gives herself to him. Cristina confesses to her father that she is pregnant and that she loves Diego.
Severiano orders Cristina and Raquela (Rossana San Juan), the maid, to go to the capital for his daughter to have the child there. Due to the manipulations of Federico Rivero (César Évora), little María del Carmen returns to the estate as Raquela's daughter. Cristina, in order to be close to her daughter, is forced to marry Federico, a ruthless and ambitious man. From now on, before everyone's eyes, she will be the godmother of María del Carmen. Federico causes an accident as a result of which Cristina loses her sight; thus, her fortune passes into his hands.
Federico is happy with the arrival of his nephew, Carlos Manuel (Fernando Colunga), a handsome young man who has finished his medical studies abroad. Carlos Manuel falls in love with Déborah Falcón (Nailea Norvind), without knowing that she is the lover of his uncle. When Federico finds out about this relationship, he opposes it and looks for a way to separate Déborah from his nephew.
Simultaneously, the now adolescent María del Carmen (Aracely Arámbula) falls in love with Carlos Manuel from the moment she meets him, provoking the hatred of Déborah who, along with Federico, does everything possible to break up the young couple, managing to drift them apart, but without being able to make the love they feel for each other go out.
Carlos Manuel gets Ángel Luis Robles (Arnaldo André), his teacher and friend who is a specialist in ophthalmology, to analyze Cristina's case of blindness so that he can help him operate on her. Dr. Robles secretly falls in love with her and has a vested interest in her regaining her sight. Federico, eager to possess María del Carmen at any cost, tries to sexually abuse the young woman, but Cristina stops him.
This awesome story, in which the purest feelings of the human being are shown, leads us to a series of surprises and emotions giving way to true love; the love that can only be felt when saying Embrace Me Tightly.
