SYNOPSIS

The story begins years ago, when Mauro falls in love with Elena, the heiress to the coffee plantation “El paraíso”. Together they have one daughter named Juliana, but soon Mauro becomes a widower and attracts the attention of Lucrecia, who becomes obsessed with him. But he wants to find a true love, and falls in love with Florencia, a young woman working in the plantation. But Lucrecia plots to separate them, and marries Mauro after telling him she’s pregnant with his child, although he doesn’t love her. Florencia decides to marry David. She gives birth to a daughter named Amaya.

After 30 years, Amaya, a woman who seems like the exact copy of Florencia, appears in the lives of Mauro and his family. At first Amaya is married to Horacio, with whom she has a daughter called Valeria. On the other hand, Maximiliano, the handsome son of Mauro and Lucrecia, is engaged to the beautiful Constanza. But everything changes after he meets Amaya, who becomes the big love of his life.

When they fall in love, all the passion, hatred and intrigue from the past come back to the lives of their families. Lucrecia, Horacio and César will do anything to separate them. Will they be able to overcome them and be happy together?

In spite of her incredible performance in the 2012 telenovela ‘Amor Bravío’, Silvia Navarro wasn’t nominated as best leading actress in the 2013 TVyNovelas awards. Her costar in the novela Cristián de la Fuente spoke against the decision to not nominate Navarro and said that although he doesn’t know the reason why she wasn’t nominated, for him she’s always going to be one of the best Mexican actresses.  

De la Fuente might reunite again with producer Carlos Moreno in his upcoming series, which will be a remake of the series ‘Imperio de Cristal’. Both have been in talks regarding the Chilean actor’s participation in the upcoming telenovela, but the final decision hasn’t been taken yet. He said: “It is obviously one of the shows we talked about. It will be mixed with an original idea by Martha and Cristi (also writers for ‘Amor Bravío’), the team that has always worked with Carlos and that has produced great results.”

He currently participates in the theater play 'Departamento de Solteros' along with José Eduardo Derbez, Adriana Fonseca, Cecilia Galliano and Mark Tacher.

It seems that the upcoming telenovela of Mexican producer Carlos Moreno will be an adaptation of the successful 1994 Televisa telenovela ‘Imperio de Cristal’ (Crystal Empire), originally produced by Carlos Sotomayor and led by actors Rebecca Jones and Ari Telch.
