Synopsis:

Leo, a blind resident, is the one who is marked out for linking this world with the one of the wealthiest families. Leo became blind because of an accident that occurred when he was 15 years old, his personality does not correspond in no way to the personality which is usually exposed in the soap operas on disabled persons. On the contrary, Leo is quite optimistic and happy. Nicole comes to live in the same building complex that Leo lives. Nicole left her home town due to the destruction caused by a hurricane.

Leo works selling encyclopedias and teaching Braille at the local museum while Nicole came to study artistic design. They meet and fall in love with each other. Nicole works in an exclusive boutique run by Eleonor. Eleonor has a daughter named Veronica. Besides having a complicated mother-daughter relationship, share a big secret. In the same building complex lives Julia. Julia is constantly looking for job and meets Iker, a good-looking young man. Unfortunately, there is a misunderstanding between them and Iker felt rejected by Julia. Julia is about to marry Octavio, a wealthy middle-aged man that does his willing without thinking about others. She is only marrying him out of grattitude because he got her out of a stripper's club.

The story tells also about other couples, including understanding and disappointment, which represent an entertaining and sophisticated alternative. There are also two worlds, of course not situated together. That would have been a typical case. Here rich people are wealthy upper-class, those who have a nice house in a district of uptown, but never a mansion in the suburbs. Humble people are not so poor, but they have a job that supports them appropriately.
