Plot synopsis:
Diego Moreno is a 30-year-old tailor who has worked for several years in a men's clothing shop. Down on his luck, having recently broken up with his fiancée who also embezzled from him, he has temporarily moved back in with his parents. However, he is not as welcome as he expected. Therefore, all of his loving is devoted to his family, and to his childhood friends Ferchu and Paco. Shortly after he goes back to his parents’ house, Diego meets Julia Malaguer Podestá, with whom he falls in love. Julia, however, is engaged to Mauricio Doval, a successful businessman who hides his bloody business affairs behind his zealous defence of organic and natural products. Diego and Julia have a brief encounter; yet, due to various circumstances, they part company expecting to never meet again.
Diego becomes a very close friend of Martina Mansur, a woman who lost her small son two years earlier and believes that, somehow or other, Mauricio is to blame for the death. Martina finds no comfort to assuage her pain and makes up her mind to kill Mauricio. Diego finds out about her plans and, in order to prevent her from committing a crime, ends up saving Mauricio’s life.
Mauricio then wants Diego to work for him, almost as if he were a lucky charm, and he does not stop until he accomplishes his objective. When Diego accepts and visits his new employer he discovers that Julia is Mauricio's wife. Initially Diego is unaware of Mauricio’s true background; however, little by little, he learns of Mauricio’s deadly business. Although, by then, knowing this will become too much of a burden for him. And when he feels like leaving the place, he will realize this is not possible. At least, it will not be possible for him to leave alive.
Besides, Diego will not dare to leave Julia by herself in the midst of the danger she still is unable to see. Julia does not know who Mauricio truly is, and she arranged for her father, the well-known scientist Alfredo Malaguer, to work with him. Mauricio needs his scientific knowledge in order to carry out ambitious and dirty plans and had been after Malaguer even before meeting Julia. Diego will find himself facing a dilemma: whether to compromise with the truth and take advantage of it, or else to fight as if from within hell itself in order to change it.

Review:
Passion, Mystery, and visual quality. This is a story closer to a police story, or a horror story than a regular old-fashion love story. But the fact is that between the story about crime and criminals (they're in the business of illegal blood trade), and the situations involving almost fantastic situations, (on the edge of mystery and horror), between them, a love story appears like a flower in a war field. Such history is made of full passion, of strength and despair, almost to the last minute of the story. All the actors and actresses do their best. The best ones, from my point of view, were Fabián Vena (Mauricio), Carolina Fal (Martina), Claudio Quinteros (Andrés) and Carlos Kaspar (El Beby). Another thing to be stated is that the cinematography is not the usual one in a soap or a TV standard production. They've cared to have a first quality product, with a consistent visual style. You must see it.
