Isabel suffers from diabetes. While she does not have a meek personality, ever since the death of her parents, she is easily manipulated by her sister Clara.
Clara lives tormented with the thought that she will never marry, since in that small town, the only bachelor is her sister's fiance, Leandro, who initiates an uncontrollable passion in her. The wedding between Isabel and Leandro is postponed because he must make an important business trip.
Clara attempts to persuade him to call off the wedding saying that Isabel only has a short time to live, but he refuses to listen. On the contrary, Leandro and Isabel agree to spend the last night together before he leaves for the trip. They decide to meet in the stable, but Clara finds out.
Along with her faithful servant, Andres, Clara plans an accident so that Isabel never makes it to the date. Instead Clara goes to the dark stable, with Isabel's perfume and dressed like her. Leandro, who has drank some drinks, spends the night with Clara. Isabel feels betrayed when she sees them together.
