In 1963, a renowned mentalist named Norman Reinhart (Omar Sanchez) visits Colombia where his mental powers are broadcast through the radio and television. Two upper-class women, Sara Koppel of Umaña (Maribel Abello) and her aunt Rosalia Koppel (Margalida Castro) attend the show. The mentalist announces that Sara is pregnant and her unborn child will be named Victorino and part of a deadly curse if they met other boys born the same date and name, with a prophecy that said; The day that Victorino found another Victorino and another Victorino, Victorino die and in the session the seer announced that President of United States of America John F. Kennedy would be killed.

Sara does not believe in the prophecy but then discovers she is pregnant and gives birth to his only son Victorino Umaña Koppel who prematurely born November 2 of 1963 in an elegant clinic in Bogota after her husband Rodrigo was discovered traveling with a lover in a pretend job travel. The child is baptized by his grandparents Juan (Carlos Duplat) and Julia and Sara is terrified to wake up to see that his son gave the name prophesied by Reinhart.

The Perdomo family has two girls, Carola and Maria Eugenia, called in honor of the wife and daughter respectively of President Gustavo Rojas Pinilla. Coincidentally Amparo is one of the people present at the session Reinhart giving his prophecies.
