Plot
editDoña Leonor lives happily with the only family she has; her daughter and her granddaughter. However, both are killed in a tragic accident, leaving Doña Leonor distraught. To combat her loneliness, she decides to be the mother figure for a group of street children.
Verónica is a noble young woman who loves entertaining the street children with her marionettes; this is in sharp contrast to Lucila Villarreal, who begins manifesting extreme hatred towards the children for a prank they pulled by ruining the cake on her wedding day. Lucila's hatred is so intense that she declares war on the children, particularly Rosi, and begins exploiting them and making their lives miserable. Little by little, her attacks intensify and rise to the level of cruelty; she also begins obsessing over Veronica's boyfriend Francisco and plots to separate him from Veronica.
In light of her hatred towards any children, Lucila becomes pregnant but then decides to abort the fetus, rendering her barren. Losing touch with reality, Lucila begins exhibiting a pattern of violent behavior, killing Lourdes and then framing Veronica for the murder to separate her from Francisco. As time passes and the truth is revealed, Lucila completely loses her sanity and begins wandering the streets of Mexico in her wedding dress, eventually making her way to Francisco and Veronica's wedding, where she is taken away and institutionalized. The street children are relieved at the removal of Lucila from their lives, and they celebrate the union of Francisco and Veronica, along with the new hope for a better future they have before them.
