ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A great forbidden love, drama, and secrets in Bilbao, at the beginning of the twentieth century.
Bilbao, 1914. Amelia Eguren, daughter of an illustrious family, is about to marry a man she barely knows. There are plenty of interests concealed behind their engagement, some that not even Amelia suspects.

Throughout four decades, these two women will struggle to survive, holding on to love in troubled times, when war, disease, and the fight for freedom will rattle their homes.
