SWEETEST ESSENCE.
Returning home from a business trip, successful engineer Leonardo
Lombardi finds his beloved wife, Raiza, in bed with his best friend.
This devastating
blow drastically transforms Leonardo: from sensitive, good natured and
kind, he turns into a bitter, hostile man, distrustful of everyone,
especially women.
Although her most cherished dream is to become a pediatrician, Miranda
Valladares has no choice but to abandon her medical studies to help
support her needy family. At the brink of poverty, they are about to be
evicted from their apartment.
While both are going through difficult times, Miranda and Leonardo meet.
He owns the building where the Valladares live. She is desperately
trying to save her home. So when Leonardo offers her a job in his house
as caretaker of his children and his grandfather, Miranda accepts.
Neither one suspects that this precise moment marks the beginning of a
great passion.
Things are far from rosy for Miranda at the Lombardi mansion. Leonardos
bitterness... his sister-in-laws cruel resentment and the return of
Raiza herself, who manipulates Leonardo with their daughters emotional
problems in order to reappear in his life and try to win him back, while
lashing out at Miranda, whom she considers a dangerous rival everything
conspires against Miranda, complicating her life with the Lombardis.
Only the steadfast affection shown by Raimundo, Leonardos grandfather,
and his two children, Carlitos and Karina, give Miranda the strength to
stay in her job. Eventually, Leonardo begins to discover within him a
tenderness he had forgotten; a profound love is kindling where only
ashes were left. Suddenly, he sees Miranda as the woman who could make
him happy once again. She feels the same way, but does not dare to admit
it.
Many events will unfold before Miranda and Leonardo can love each other
freely. But in the end, the luck that brought them together in the midst
of serious personal problems will finally give them the happiness they
deserve.
