The three Marcano sisters have to navigate their way through life while fighting a macho world, to achieve their own goals and live more balanced, independent lives.
Antonieta is a mother of two children and the dedicated wife to Luis Fernando, a womanizer whose infidelities are discovered after 17 years of marriage. Antonieta decides to ask for a divorce, but the issue becomes complicated with the family's economic problems and other pressures.
Adela is a very strong but suspicious woman with a husband, Enrique, who hides a past that is uncovered on their wedding day.
Aurora, the youngest sister, works as a journalist but has great fear of men and intimacy. She develops a relationship with Luis Fernando's brother Fucho.
The series is notable for including, somewhat unusually for the time, a gay-themed subplot involving Enrique's brother Tulio.[3]
