Nos remontamos a 1907, cuando Manuela, una inocente y analfabeta chica de quince anos, empieza a trabajar para la familia mas rica de Terreros, un pueblo de Aragon. Para cualquier chica de su condicion se trata de una oportunidad unica de escapar de trabajos mucho mas duros. Al entrar en la Casa Grande intenta pasar desapercibida, pero pronto hara gran amistad con Ines, la hija mas joven de la familia, que le ensenara a leer, y se enamorara de Javier, el mas alocado de los hermanos.

Empieza a gestarse un amor imposible y tragico por el cual sera despedida y se enemistara para siempre con dona Amelia, la madre de la familia. Javier parte a Cuba y Manuela rehace su vida, consiguiendo exito en sus empresas hasta que, justo antes de empezar la Guerra Civil, descubre algo que le hara recordar su pasado…

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Her destiny was already written, but she decided to fight in order to change it. A story about the social rise of a maid in the early 20th century.

A young maid on a wine estate.

At the beginning of the 20th century, among the green fields of the Aragonese vineyards, stands a noble house belonging to the Prado de Sanchis family. When Manuela starts working there as a servant, she knows that this is her only chance to escape the miserable fate that has been imposed on her by her humble background.

A secret romance surrounded by family intrigues.

Surrounded by jealousy and family conflicts, and avoiding the lady of the house’s watchful eye, Manuela indulges in a forbidden love that will turn her life upside-down and force her to fight more than ever to carve out her own future.

A secret from the past that can change everything.

Years later, when Manuela seems to have overcome her difficult childhood memories, a big secret will come to light. It is then, that she must unearth a past full of struggles, love, and passion.
