Синопсис
For Estrella Marina (Zuria Vega), life is like the sea, full of danger and evil. But the sea also fights and moves forward. Far from her foster father; this humble fisher has suffered from the disorder that the crazy Casilda (Erika Buenfil) has. Casilda is Estrella's mother, who was in this state after being raped by Guillermo (Juan Ferrara), a wealthy man who is tormented by this sin. Since then, the crazy Casilda roams between peoples aimlessly. However, in the absence of their parents, Estrella received the shelter of her humble sponsors, who have brought her up as their child.
In her fondness for study, she learned to read, and through books knew love. She begins to fall for the famous writer Victor Manuel Galindez.
The famous writer lived for years traveling in different directions, while writing his many adventures as a sailor ... but one day, destiny and fate crossed his path, and he meets Coral (Ninel Conde). She washed up on a beach and has forgotten everything. This strange woman steals his heart. But soon it leads into a stormy relationship that unleashes an incredible passion between Victor Manuel and Coral, who knows nothing more than that, her name. However, this relationship ends when the sailor learns that died in a tragic boat explosion.
Devastated and feeling guilty about the death of Coral, Victor Manuel (Mario Cimarro) returns to Playa Escondida, the town where he grew up. He drinks, trying to forget his sorrows that are like a dark blanket. He never imagines that Estrella might bring the sparkle back to his life. After he drinks some alcohol, he is flying a plane to Playa Escondida and falls asleep, almost crashing the plane into Estrella, while at fishing.
Estrella Marina recognizes the author who made her love reading. Very excited, she decides to help the sailor, who at first does not accept Estrella into his heart, but with the tenderness of a humble fisherman, Victor Manuel is overcome with love for her.
However, problems begin to appear for Estrella. A wealthy but selfish man, Leon Parra-Ibáñez (Manuel Landeta), wants to build a hotel complex on her sunny village. To carry out his plans, he wants to have the town cleared. All the fishermen who live in Playa Escondida would have to leave. Unfortunately, this land belongs to Victor Manuel. Leon wants to buy the land that belongs to Victor Manuel Galindez. Therefore, he convinces his self-centered daughter Oriana (Mariana Seoane) to seduce the writer and convince him to sell the land to Leon.
In the midst of a dark night, Casilda returns to Playa Escondida. Full of anger and revenge toward those who hurt her, she attempts suicide by almost drowning herself. Some villagers rescue her before she dies. Now Estrella needs to work to cure her mother of these suicide thoughts. She wants to pay for therapy so her mother can get well. To make money, she comes to the house of Leon Parra-Ibáñez and begins to work as a secretary. Leon is struck with her beauty and wants her. This only makes Oriana hate Estrella more. Leon's relative, Guillermo, visits from time to time. He is also rich. Later, he learns that Estrella is the daughter he abandoned years ago with her mother. Drowned in a deep depression, he admits to Estrella that is he who caused so much damage to Casilda, and therefore, her father. Leon has another daughter, Elena (Florencia del Saracho), who is kind and beautiful. Elena has fallen for a village boy, Salvador (Ramon Valdez). They see each other, but keep their relationship a secret from her father.
The love between Estrella and Victor Manuel begins to be weakened because of an incident that Leon causes. He is very jealous of Victor Manuel and wants Estrella to be himself. One night, when Estrella is not working for him, he invites Victor Manuel over. He also finds a girl that lives in the village who looks exactly like Estrella. When Victor Manuel walks in, he sees Leon having sex with the girl he thinks is Estrella. In revenge, he becomes entangled with Oriana before Estrella's eyes. Hurt and heartbroken by what she has seen, Estrella takes Casilda to Mexico City to cure her condition at the hospital. She avoids Victor Manuel and her father, who she still has a grudge against for leaving them.
