Alma de Hierro (Spanish: Soul Of Iron) is a 2008–2009 Mexican telenovela produced by Televisa. It is a remake of the Argentinian production, Son de Fierro, with the characters' names rewritten and adapted to the Mexican audience. The main actors were Alejandro Camacho, Blanca Guerra, Christian Vega, Flavio Medina, Lisardo and Alejandra Barros, with Jorge Poza, Zuria Vega, Adamari López, Angelique Boyer, Eddy Vilard, Martha Julia, and Luz María Aguilar playing supporting roles. The show earned eight awards at the "TV y Novelas" award celebration, becoming the highest-awarded production of the 2009 season.
The protagonist of this telenovela, full of anecdotes and told in a comic way, is the Hierro family. José Antonio Hierro, a good man, friendly but overly zealous, whom even his wife calls Hierro, married Elena Jiménez 25 years ago and now they have three children: Sebastian, Sandy and Wicho. They have made a decent living working through Hierro's business, a delicatessen located in front of their home where, in addition to José and his family, Mimiche (Elena's mother) and Paty (Elena's sister) live, as well as Angelito (Jose's brother) and Ezekiel (whom Elena and Hierro took in from the streets and have raised as a child).
Sebastian lost his sight at the age of ten, so Elena stopped teaching to help him adapt to his new life. Today he has a degree in history and teaches the subject at the school where his brother Wicho studies, as well as the charming and rebellious teenager, Renata.
Sandy is her father's pride and joy and is studying medicine, but she also has a penchant for dancing and entertainment. She knows that Hierro would never permit her to change professions, but she has the support of her paternal grandfather, to whom Hierro hasn't spoken in 30 years. They are estranged because Hierro cannot not forgive his father for discovering, at 40, that his sexual orientation had changed, becoming gay, and revealing the situation to his family and society. This, in Hierro's eyes, was what caused the illness and death of his mother.
Wicho is young, immature, rebellious and fun. He does not know what he wants, and you feel that he is the one who never gets attention in the family.
Both Sebastian and Wicho fall in love with the same girl, Renata Higareda, a rebellious teenager who happens to be the daughter of Saúl Higareda, the man Elena would have married before meeting Hierro. Saul, although years later he married another woman, could never forget Elena and, now divorced, he has returned to Mexico. With an important position in national education, he has called on Elena to work with him because he is determined to recover her, no matter what he has to do. This even includes facing the fact that Wicho has fallen like a fool for his daughter, Renata, while, at the same time, she has fallen in love with the blind Sebastian, Elena's other son.
