In the turbulent pre-revolutionary Mexico of the late 19th century, Emilia Sauri grows up in a liberal family. Over the years, Emilia becomes a woman who fights for her convictions and refuses to give up her feelings, facing the limitations imposed on her female condition and the danger of loving two men madly: Daniel Cuenca, an adventurer and revolutionary, and Antonio Zavalza, a doctor who seeks peace in the midst of civil war. Ángeles Mastretta portrays a story of passion intertwined with that of a passionate country, a war, a family, and excessive vocations.
