In this fast-paced drama, lovers plot to achieve their desires while the dictates of honor conflict with the calls of the heart. Leonor and Teodora occupy different floors in the same Madrid apartment building. Leonor is to marry Teodora’s brother, while Teodora marries Leonor’s. But both women reject their arranged marriages as they find themselves falling for Don Diego de Luna, the dashing stranger who strolls the street below them.
