Synopsis
Twin sisters separated at birth could not be more different. Paulina is kind, honest and poor, caring for her dying mother, while Paola is a rich, restless married woman who treats the Bracho household as a prison. Meeting by chance in Cancún, Paola blackmails Paulina into taking her place for a year so she can run off with a lover. Inside the mansion, the impostor sets about repairing the damage her sister caused: winning over the children, rescuing the family factory and falling, against every rule of the bargain, for Paola’s husband Carlos Daniel. When the real Paola returns, the swap detonates.
