Hi,
I
am going to start putting English summaries of "Alondra" on this
foro. Below are the summaries from the first two episodes. The name of the
actor is in parenthesis.
The
story begins when Alondra is 5 years old. She is running around her house
looking for her mother. Her mother Veronica (Jacqueline Andere) is in bed,
dying. Her husband Baldomero (Eric del Castillo) is at her side. Veronica is
sick with Tuberculosis. Her last wish to her husband is that he will always
remind Alondra of her, and that she will always love her. She also requests
that he never leaves nor forsakes her. Before dying, she asks to see her
daughter for one last time. Alondra goes to her mother's bedroom and while
Veronica is speaking to her for one last time, she dies. Alondra and Baldomero
become very sad as Veronica dies before their eyes.
The
next day, Baldomero invites his sister Loretto (Beatriz Sheridan) and her two
childern to live at his house. When Alondra is 7 years old, she and her father
go to the train station to meet Loretto and her children, Maria Elisa and
Rigoberto. They go to live at Baldomero's house. Alondra and Maria Elisa become
friends immediately. But what started as anticipation turns into bad luck for
Alondra. Her aunt doesn't like her and whenever Rigoberto breaks something or
pulls pranks, Alondra is the one who gets blamed and punished by her aunt. She
thinks that Alondra is causing all of those problems, while it is really
Rigoberto. Loretto decides to send Alondra and Maria Lisa to a boarding school
run by nuns. She sends Rigoberto to another religious boarding school, for
young boys who will become priests. She does this while Baldomero is away at
the hacienda that he owns, which is far away from his house. He gets mad when
he finds out what his sister did. Alondra does not like the boarding school or
the strict nuns. One night, while everyone at the boarding school is alseep,
she tells Maria Elisa that she is going to escape because the school is very scary
and she wants to go home. Maria Elisa does not want to escape, so Alondra goes
home by herself. When she arrives home, both her father and aunt are awake and
they are surprised to see her. She tells her dad she wants to stay with him and
not return to the boarding school. Loretto doesn't approve, but Baldomero says
that he never agreed to send his daughter to the boarding school in the first
place, and that she should only worry about raising her kids, while he raises
his. He decides to send Alondra to a regular school in the village, while Maria
Elisa stays in the boarding school.
At
the age of 14, Maria Elisa comes home for vacation. Alondra is very happy, as
she misses her cousin. She invites her to go bicycle riding with her. While
Loretto is gossiping with a friend of hers in the street, they see the two
girls riding bicycles, and Loretto gets very angry. Maria Elisa falls from the
bicycle when she sees her mother's angry face. Loretto scolds her and insults
Alondra.
7
or 8 years later, Alondra (Ana Colchero) is now a beautiful grown woman. She
tells her father she wants to go to college, and her father accepts. Rigoberto
(Juan Manuel Bernal) is in the seminary. He is smoking and drinking in front of
other seminarists, who watch him, horrorized. Alondra goes to sign in at the
university. Her and another girl, Rebecca (Katie Barbieri) are the only girls
in the class. The other boys in the class all stare at the two girls with
curiosity. They meet later and all become friends. At home, Aunt Loretto insults
her because she is a free spirit who studies and wears flirty clothes. She
tries to slap her but Alondra defends herself. Rigoberto gets kicked out of the
seminary, because one of his roommates told the high priest that he was smoking
and drinking and continuously breaking the rules. He goes to parties and spends
the money that his uncle Baldomero sent him for his studies. But Baldomero does
not know that Rigoberto is not spending the money he sends him on school.
Maria
Elisa (Veronica Merchant) comes home for vacation. Her first night back at
home, she confesses to Alondra that she doesn't want to go back to the convent
after her vacation is over. Alondra is happy with that news, but the girls
worry about the reaction of Loretto when she finds out.

del Bosque (Marga Lopez) is a famous vedette who has just returned to San
Miguel from Mexico City because she has decided to retire. She goes to the
house that belonged to her grandmother. Her assistant, Maty (Amparo Arozmena)
is glad to see her. Together, they take the sheets off of the furniture. They

Eliza and her mother discuss her life at the convent and Maria Eliza asks her
mother what it is like to have a boyfriend. Loretto acts as if it is a sin.

morning. Alondra tells her that she does not like the way Loretto treats her
and that she misses her father when he goes to the hacienda.
At
church, Loretto talks with Father Gervasio (Hector Gomez). She thinks that
Alondra will be a bad influence on her during the months that she will be off
on vacation. Father Gervasio disagrees with her and says that there is nothing
wrong with Alondra. He wants to speak to Maria Elisa himself.
Alondra
and Baldomero have breakfast, and Alondra tells him about three guys at school
who have a crush on her: German, Ramon, and Rolando. Loretto comes into the
dining room, interrupting them. Once again, as she has been doing for years,
she calls Alondra "Maria Alondra", saying that a woman cannot have a
name of a bird without having a Christian name. Alondra corrects her aunt and
asks her not to call her "Maria Alondra" anymore, because it is not
her name. Maria Elisa comes to breakfast and Baldomero leaves for the office.
Alondra and Loretto get into an argument. Alondra asks Loretto why she hates
her so much. Loretto says because Alondra is a "loose woman", a
libertine, just like her mother. Alondra gets very upset and runs to her
father's office to tell him what just happened. Loretto is scared of how Baldomero
will react.

and Maty discuss Leticia's three late husbands, who all died. Maty suggests
that Leticia find a new man in her life.

and his assistant, Jorge (Justo Martinez) are in their office. Alondra comes
in, crying. She tells her father what Loretto said about her mother.

talks to Maria Elisa about Veronica and says that she was an actress in the
theater, and that her (Loretto's) parents were not pleased about Baldomero marrying
Veronica. He got her to leave the theater when they married, but she still came
down with tuberculosis, because all of those nights of staying up late and
working were bad for her lungs. She talks bad about Veronica.
Baldomero
tells Alondra the story of how he and Veronica met, and how she died.
Maria
Elisa is waiting for Alondra and Baldomero to come home. She is worried that he
will kick her and Loretto out of the house. Loretto tells Maria Elisa to go to
her room. She waits impatiently for her brother to come home and scold her.
Very angry, Baldomero comes home and finds Loretto on the balcony and screams
at her for what she said to Alondra. He tells her that she has no right to talk
about Veronica, who was a virgin when she married Baldomero, while she
(Loretto) gave birth to Rigoberto after she was only 7 months married! He gives
her one last oportunity to change her attitude or she will leave the house
forever.

chatting. Maria Elisa tells Father Gervasio about her decision to not return to
the convent. Later, while Maria Elisa is reading the bible, she meets Raul
(Fernando Colunga), a soldier. Loretto is in the office with the priest, asking
his help to separate Maria Elisa from the bad influence of Alondra. Father
Gervasio refuses.

her not to talk to any men because their mouths are filled with sin. (???)
Rigoberto
lives in Mexico City with a prostitute. They are having fun together.

asks Maria Elisa if she would like to go ride bicycles with her and her

quiet. Maria Elisa asks her mother if she can go bicycle riding and Loretto
refuses.

Elisa is teaching a Bible study class for children in the church. Raul comes in
and sits with the kids, surprising Maria Elisa and making her nervous.

tells Alondra that he needs to take another trip to the hacienda. She becomes
sad with this news.
While
Maria Elisa is talking with Raul, she sees her mother enter the chapel. Raul
pretends to be the father of a little girl in the class, and then he leaves.
After a short conversation with Maria Elisa, Loretto also leaves.
Rigoberto,
in the presence of his lover Celia (Lourdes Deschamps), writes a letter to his
mother so that she will send him money. In the letter, he says he needs the
money because he will be going on a missionary trip to help people with
leprosy.
Loretto
tells Maria Elisa that her friends are jealous of her because she has a
daughter who is going to become a nun and a son who will soon be a priest.
Maria Elisa doesn?t tell her mother that she will not go back to the convent.
Loretto?s
three friends talk about how Alondra has a free spirit and how Maria Elisa is
always alone. One of the ladies, Eduviges, says she likes Alondra better
because she is always cheerful, and Maria Elisa is sad and dominated by her
mother.
In
the kitchen, Librada tells Loretto that Baldomero went to the hacienda, and
that Alondra is with her male friends, riding bicycles. Loretto wishes silently
that Alondra would leave the house.
Alondra
and German (Joel Nuñez) are riding on a double bicycle in the plaza, with their
other friends riding beside them. After riding around the plaza, they take a
break. German tries to kiss Alondra. She gets mad and pushes him, then walks
away. He asks her to forgive him, and she does but makes him promise that he
never attempt that again. Alondra?s friends tell her about the serenade that
will take place tonight. Since her aunt always goes, she thinks that there
won?t be any problem with her and Maria Elisa going.
Later
that evening, in the bedroom, Maria Elisa and Alondra discuss the serenade, and
plan to ask Loretto at dinner.
At
dinner, Loretto says that she will not go to the serenade because she twisted
her ankle, and does not give permission for the girls to go either.
Maty
brings Leticia some tea before going to bed. Lety wants to go to the serenade,
but Maty thinks that the cold night air will be bad for her health, since Lety
has cancer. But Lety plans to go to the serenade with her dog after Maty has
gone to bed.
Alondra
and Maria Elisa plan to escape through the window to attend the serenade.
Meanwhile, at Loretto?s friend Trini?s (Dina de Marco) house, her three fat
daughters are getting ready to go to the serenade also. Eduviges and her
daughter Sagrario are visiting with them. German, Rolando, and Ramon are at the
plaza, waiting for Alondra. They meet with this old man, Don Pablo Miranda, who
has been married and widowed three times, and is now looking to get married a
fourth time. Alondra and Maria Elisa escape from their window by going down a
thick rope. They go to the plaza.
At
the plaza, German, Rolando, and Ramon see the three fat girls. They comment on
how the girls are ditzy, and since they don?t want the girls to go over and
talk to them, they concentrate on the sky. The three girls see them looking at
the sky, and they also look at the sky, to see what is so fascinating. While
the girls are concentrating on the sky, the guys leave.
A
mother walks her son to the plaza. She tells him that she met his father at a
serenade like this one, and her son says that he doesn?t remember his father
because he died when he was very young. The mother wants her son to go talk to
a girl, but he says that all the girls have boyfriends. She wants to introduce
him to Trini?s daughters, but he doesn?t want to. She takes him over to the
girls anyway, and they introduce themselves. After she leaves, he asks one of
the girls, Berta (Gabriela Murray) to take a walk around the plaza with him.

and Maria Elisa meet with Loretto?s three friends in the plaza. They tell the
ladies that Loretto is around, sitting at her favorite bench. Later, the girls
go find Alondra?s friends. She introduces them to Maria Elisa. Then they start

Alondra coldly and cruelly. She tries as much as possible to keep Maria Elisa
away from Alondra so that she will not find out about the dance.
Alondra asks
Librada if the invitation to the dance has arrived yet. In her bedroom, Loretto
and Maria Elisa are discussing the dance. Loretto is looking at the invitation
and she makes Maria Eliza promise her that she will not mention the dance at
all to Alondra, because if she does, she will not be allowed to go. Maria Elisa
does not want to do it, but she is afraid her mother won?t let her attend the
dance.
Alondra suspectas
that Loretto is up to something because they leave the house every day without
telling her where they are going. She asks Librada if she knows where her aunt
and cousin go every day, but Librada thinks that they are going to church. She
finds a letter addressed to Alondra?s father, and Alondra, thinking it is the
invitation to the dance, opens it. But it turns out to be a letter from the
priest at the seminary, about Rigoberto?s expulsion.
Maria Elisa tells
Father Gervasio about her problems with her overdominating mother and how she
treats Alondra.
Outside of church, Maria Elisa informs her mother that she
will not be returning to the convent. Loretto becomes very upset with the news
and immediately blames Alondra. Maria Elisa explains that Alondra has nothing
to do with it.

her medicines, when Alondra arrives.

to the convent, she will get married--- to Don Pablo.
At his house,
Roberto tells his mother how embarrassed he is that he had to borrow money from
Ramon to pay for all of the ice cream that the three fat sisters ordered. He
complains that they eat too much, and his mother asks him who is his favorite.
He replies that neither of the three, then his mother gives him money to pay
Ramon back.
Berta and her
sisters, Tota and Tita are in their room. These last two are lying on their
beds, complaining about how much their stomach hurts. Their mother comes in and
asks why, and they tell her that they not only consumed four ice creams, but
later they went out with Don Pablo and had more food!! Trini gives all three of
them medicine for their stomachache, even Berta, who didn?t eat as much as the
other two.
At Letty?s house,
Alondra tells her about her classes, about how her mother died and her father
goes often to his ranch, and how her aunt Loretto treats her.

house. Pablo tells her how impressed he is with Maria Elisa. He wants to take
her to the ballroom dance. Loretto agrees to let the old millionaire be her
daughter?s escort at the dance.

Alondta to her bedroom and shows her some old articles and clippings from
newspapers that have Alondra?s mother in them. Alondra is impressed.

Elisa are at their secret meeting place. Maria Elisa tells Raul about her
problems with her mother. She tells him about the dance, and he says that he
will find a way to come and to be with her without anyone knowing. He tries to
kiss her, but she turns her head, so he kisses her hands, like a respectable
gentleman.
Before leaving,
Alondra tells Lety about the letter that the priest sent her father. She
worries how her aunt will take the news that Rigoberto was kicked out of the
seminary.
Loretto goes to
her room after Pablo leaves. Librada laughs to herself because she now knows
that the son that Loretto is so proud of will not be a priest. Alondra comes
home and tells Librada that she will bring Loretto her medicines. She goes to
Loretto?s room with the medicines and gives her the letter. Loretto becomes
shocked when she reads it. She gets upset and tells Alondra to leave her alone
in her room.
Roberto and the
fat girls are playing a board game in the dining room of the girls? house.
Trini comes in and tells the girls that their dresses for the dance are ready.
She invites Roberto to stay and see the dresses.
Maria Elisa comes
home. They finally get a chance to talk. Alondra tells Maria Elisa about
Rigoberto?s expulsion from the seminary.
Roberto sees the sisters in their dresses. He becomes speechless
and although he doesn?t say anything, it is apparent that he does not like the
dresses. Tota says she chose green for hope. Roberto says she looks like a
Serrano chile pepper. Tita says she chose purple for peace, but Roberto tells
her that she looks more like a huge purple onion. Berta says seductively that
her dress is red, representing blood and passion, and she tries to kiss him,
but he breaks away and says that she looks more like a big tomato.
(hahahahahaha!!!)
Maria Elisa tells Alondra that during all these days that
Loretto wouldn?t let the two girls talk, they were secretly making preparations
for the dance, and asks Alondra to forgive her for not telling her. Alondra
tells her cousin that she forgives her, because it wasn?t her fault. She is
disappointed that she won?t be able to go to the dance and wishes that Maria
Elisa have fun.
At his ranch
house, Baldomero and Carmelina discuss the situation between Loretto and
Alondra.
Loretto tells
Maria Elisa that Don Pablo Miranda will be her ?date? at the dance. Maria Elisa
is not pleased at all with this news.
Alondra tells
Lety sadly that she wants to go to the dance, but will not be able to because
it is too late to get a dress. Leticia says she will give her one of her
dresses to wear to the dance.
Trini, Eduviges,
Rosario, and Petra are at Loretto?s house. They are curious to know who Lety
is, and since she looks to be a very wealthy woman, they want to ask her if she
would like to participate in the fundraiser that their charity is holding. They
decide to go to Lety?s house and ask her. Meanwhile, Leticia is with Alondra.
Maty tells her that the members of a charity fund are at her house. Alondra
tells Lety that surely her aunt is in that bunch, because she is the president
of the charity. Lety becomes curious to meet Loretto. She tells Alondra to wait
for her while she attends the ladies. While they are waiting for her, the
ladies look at a risqué painting on Lety?s living room wall. She enters the
room in her house robe. She scandalizes the four women, smoking her cigarette
in front of them, telling them that she lived a ?torrid romance with three
men?, and when they ask her if she would like to participate in the fundraiser,
she said that she could raise a lot of money because many men would come to the
event to see her perform. She tells the ladies that she is a vedette. The
ladies are shocked and horrified. Lety tells them that they are a bunch of
religious, sanctimonious women and asks them to leave. They leave, scandalized.
Lety goes back into the room where Alondra is and tells Alondra and Maty what
happened. Maty reminds her that she did not just live a romance with three men,
that she was married three times. Alondra asks if she ever had children, and
Lety said that although God did not grant her children, she considers Alondra
is like a daughter to her.
Rigoberto returns
home. He is rude to Librada, who does not recognize him. He goes upstairs to
see Maria Elisa. She tells him that everyone knows that he was kicked out of
the seminary.

his father?s tux, which he will wear to the dance. He tells his mother about
the loud, frilly dresses that Trini?s daughters will be wearing.

with Maria Elisa and old Don Pablo.
Alondra comes
home and Rigoberto gives her a hug. She tells him how disappointed she is in
him, because he wasted all the money that her father sent him for his
education. Librada spies on them. Rigoberto explains his reasons for leaving
the seminary. Loretto, Maria Elise, Alondra, and Rigoberto sit down to eat
lunch. Loretto serves her two children, but skips over Alondra. Rigoberto and
Maria Elisa ask why she didn?t serve Alondra, and Loretto makes this excuse, ?I
thought Alondra didn?t want to eat lunch because she is always on a diet?. Alondra
gets upset and asks her aunt to give her the invitation to the dance.

Loretto insults
Alondra at lunch. Alondra demands that she give her the invitation. When
Loretto refuses, Rigoberto goes to get it. Loretto informs Maria Elisa that Don
Pablo will be her "date" at the dance.
The night of the
dance, everyone is getting ready. The three sisters are putting on their
dresses. Eduviges helps her daughter Sagrario get ready. She suggests that
Sagrario wear a flower in her hair or something to make her look less serious.
Sagrario says that she does not want to look ridiculous like Trini's daughters.
Roberto's mother is dressed and watches as her son gets ready. He says that he
is not looking forward to dancing with "the three vegetables", as he
now calls them. Trini comes into her daughters' rooms and sees that two are
dressed the other is not. She scolds them for switching the ribbons on their
shoes. Roberto's mother suggests that he dances with other girls: Sagrario,
Maria Elisa, or Alondra. He says that Sagrario is too serious, Maria Elisa is
going to become a nun and has a frightening mother, and that Alondra probably
will be dancing with her friends from school.
Rigoberto and
Loretto are in Loretto's room. He wants to take Alondra to the dance, but
Loreto says that no one is supposed to know that he is not a seminarist yet,
and that he should stay at home to avoid gossip from the townspeople. Rigoberto
goes into Alondra's room anyway, and asks her if he can take her to the dance.
She refuses. He then goes into the living room, where Don Pablo is waiting.
Loretto finds Maria Elisa getting ready for the dance in the bathroom. Before going
into the living room, Maria Elisa goes to Alondra's room. Alondra tells her
that she will stay at home and study all night. She does not say that Lety is
helping her to go to the dance, and tells Maria Elisa to have fun.
Rigoberto and Don
Pablo discuss finances in the living room. Don Pablo tells Rigoberto that he
wants to marry Maria Elisa immediately, and that she will inherit his whole
fortune when he dies.
Lety says to Maty
that some male friends will come over tonight to hear her sing and dance. She
asks her to help her select a dress.
Loretto and Maria
Elise go into the living room to meet with Don Pablo. Rigo is still there. Don
Pablo compliments her on how beautiful she looks in her pink dress, then they
leave for the dance together. Rigoberto laughs to himself and goes upstairs to
see Alondra. She is getting ready to go out, and tells her cousin that she is
going to go study with a friend. He tries to kiss her, but she slaps him and
tries to leave. He blocks the door. They argue, and she pushes him and leaves.
He runs after her, but slips on a rug and falls. By the time he gets up,
Alondra has already gone.
Leticia sings to
an audience of six men in her parlor. They have their own little party with
champagne. Maty receives Alondra and takes her into another room to get dressed
for the dance. Lety leaves the guys for awhile to help Alondra. When Alondra
tells her that she has no one to take her to the dance, Lety says she will ask
one of her friends who are in the parlor. After Alondra is dressed beautifully
and elegantly, Leticia presents her to her friends. One of them, Jacinto,
offers to take her to the dance.
At the dance, the
announcer at the door does formal presentations of all of the people who
arrive. Maria Elisa and Loretto; Roberto and his mother; Trini and her
daughters; then Don Pablo arrives.
The first dance
of the night begins. Trini's daughters find Roberto sitting with his mother at
the table. He chooses to dance with Berta first. Loretto pushes Maria Elisa to
dance with Don Pablo. As the dance begins, Alondra arrives and is presented.
Trini and her daughter Tita see Alondra arrive. When Roberto sees Alondra at
the dance, he becomes fascinated by how beautiful she is. Maria Elisa wears out
Don Pablo dancing with him. Alondra goes over to greet her aunt and they
exchange insults. Maria Elisa is glad to see that Alondra came to the dance.
She introduces her to Don Pablo. The girls convince Loretto to take Don Pablo
into the smoking room to massage his legs, since he is having pains. When they
leave, the two girls become excited that they will be alone.
Ramon, German,
and Rolando are looking around the salon for Alondra. Finally, they see her and
Maira Elisa. German asks Alondra to dance and Ramon goes with Maria Elisa. When
Maria Elisa sees Raul on the other side of the room, she excuses herself and
tells Ramon that her boyfriend has arrived. She goes over to talk to him.
Rolando
interrumpts Alondra dancing with German and they dance for awhile until Ramon
interrupts them. Finally, German interrupts to dance with Alondra again.
Roberto takes a break from dancing with the fat girls. They are already tiring
him out. His mother suggests that he ask Alondra to dance. He thanks his mother
for giving him such good advice and becomes excited with the thought of dancing
with Alondra.
In the parlor,
Don Pablo tells Loretto that they should leave early because he is tired.
Loretto agrees.
Roberto asks
Alondra to dance, taking her from Ramon. While Alondra and Roberto are dancing,
Maria Elisa and Raul sneak out to the balcony to talk. After Alondra has danced
with Roberto for awhile, German interrumpts them. (Too bad, those two were the
best dancers in the whole room. :-) ) Roberto is not very happy that German
interrupted his dance with Alondra. Outside, Maria Elisa and Raul share a
romantic kiss. He tells her that he has to return soon to Mexico City. He wants
to meet her mother to ask her hand in marriage. Maria Elisa wants to get
married with him immediately, but Raul convinces her to wait two months until
he comes back, because he is poor and has nothing to offer her.
Loretto and Don
Pablo return to the dance. Don Pablo sits down to wait for Maria Elisa while
Loretto goes to look for her. Rolando interrupts German to dance with Alondra. Trini
and Eduviges observe the dancers and discuss the different couples on the dance
floor. Loretto goes over to them to ask where Maria Elisa is. Trini disapproves
of the way Loretto treats her daughter, and of the way she treats Alondra as
well. Eduviges agrees with Trini. Loretto thinks they are just jealous because
their daughters are not marrying Don Pablo (yeah right! who wants to marry that
old man? ) Loretto leaves them and pushes various people on the dance floor out
of the way to get to Alondra. She demands to know where Maria Elisa is.
Raul and Maria Elisa are still out on the balcony together. He wants to meet her mother before leaving the dance, but Maria Elisa thinks it?s better to wait until he returns. He promises to return in two months. Alondra comes outside to inform her cousin that her mother is looking for her. Raul leaves, and Loretto comes outside. She tells Maria Elisa that they are going to leave soon, because Don Pablo is not feeling well. Alondra returns to the dance, and alternates with German, Ramon, Rolando, and Roberto. Loretto, Don Pablo, and Maria Elisa get ready to leave. Jacinto Alatorre, the man who brought Alondra to the dance, is watching her from the bar.

Don Jacinto
watches Alondra dancing from the bar and he is starting to like her more and
more. Don Pablo goes and gets the carriage so that he, Maria Elisa, and Loretto
can go home. Maria Elisa wants to go inform Alondra that she is leaving, but
Loretto won?t let her. Alondra is a little tired from dancing and wants
something to drink. German, Ramon, and Rolando all offer to get her a drink.
She goes to the window and sees that it is starting to rain outside. Maria
Elisa calls Alondra's name but she does not hear, and Loretto refuses to let
her go tell Alondra they are leaving. Don Jacinto gives Alondra a glass of
champagne, even though Alondra has never drank alcohol before, and invites her
to sit down with him at his table. Roberto, completely worn out, goes to sit on
the sofa with his mother. They decide that it is time to get ready to leave.
German and the guys, with drinks in their hands for Alondra, look around the
ballroom for her, but they do not see her. Roberto and his mother are about to
go home, when the three big girls see them leaving and convince Roberto to stay
a little while longer. They tell his mother that they will bring him home. His
mother leaves, and he stays. Don Jacinto makes conversation with Alondra, and
she talks about school and her father.
At Baldomero's
hacienda, he and Jorge are talking about how dangerous the rivers and waters
are during this season, and that it is bad to travel right now.
Jacinto offers
Alondra more champagne, but she refuses. She wants to go look for her aunt and
cousin. He convinces Alondra to finish her drink first.
Jorge tells
Baldomero that at these moments, Alondra must be at the dance, and that the
whole village has been talking about nothing else lately. Baldomero hopes that
she will meet a good man and get married soon.
Maria Elisa and
Loretto arrive home. Loretto tells her daughter that whether she likes it or
not, she is going to marry Don Pablo Miranda. Maria Elisa is disgusted.
Trini and
Eduviges talk about their children, and how great it is to see them all
dancing. Alondra goes over to them to ask if they have seen her aunt and Maria
Elisa. The ladies tell her that they left without telling her. Alondra becomes
upset. Trini offers to take her home, but Alondra sadly refuses, and walks
away. The ladies feel sorry for her, and say that if anything bad happens to
her, it will be all Loretto's fault.
Maria Elisa
discusses her engagement to Don Pablo with Rigoberto. He agrees with Loretto?s
plans to marry her to that old man.

home. He convinces her to finish the champagne first, and then, Alondra leaves
with him. Roberto collapses at Trini's table. Rolando and Jesus take him to the
parlor. When he regains consciousness, he accuses the three fat girls of trying
to kill him by dancing him to death.
Rigoberto waits
in the living room for Alondra to go home. Loretto tries to convince him to go
to sleep.
Roberto is not
feeling well and they bring him some juice and water to drink. His mother has
already gone home. Berta brings a doctor to check him out. The doctor says that
he needs to rest for a few days. Berta goes and brings him another glass of
orange juice.
Don Jacinto is in
his carriage with Alondra, on the way to her house. She has a headache and
wants to sleep.
Loretto and
Rigoberto talk about how much they hate Alondra. Rigoberto wants to wait until
she comes home, so that he can scold her for being late. Loretto is tired and
decides to go to sleep.
Leticia says to
Maty that she trusts Jacinto and is glad that she asked him to take Alondra to
the dance. Jacinto helps Alondra out of the carriage.
Maria Elisa is in
her bed, worried about Alondra. Loretto tells her to not worry, that Alondra
probably went to some man's house after the dance. Maria Elisa doesn't believe
her.
Jacinto takes
Alondra to his house, instead of hers. He pours an alcoholic beverange into two
glasses. Alondra is scared and wants to go home. She realizes that he tricked
her. He tells her that she shouldn't try to act all innocent, when she is not,
because a friend of Leticia del Bosque cannot be innocent. Alondra does not
understand what he is trying to say, so he grabs her and tries to rape her.
They fight and she pushes him. He falls and hits his head on something and
becomes unconscious. Alondra tries to escape, but all of the doors and windows
are locked. Finally, she finds an open window in the bathroom. She runs through
the woods, and sees a little cart. She asks the cart driver to take her home.
He knows her.
At the ranch
house, Baldomero has indigestion and cannot sleep. While preparing some seltzer
water, he expresses his worries about Alondra to Carmelina, who is sleeping
with him.
At 3 am,
Rigoberto is still awake, waiting for Alondra in the living room. When she
arrives, she knocks the door. It is raining very hard. Rigoberto goes outside
and does not let Alondra into HER OWN HOUSE! (Some Ex-Seminarist!) He closes the
door on her and goes back inside. Alondra is outside, still knocking the door
and crying. Maria Elisa hears all the commotion and tries to make Rigoberto let
Alondra in. He hits her and tells her to go back to sleep. Loretto comes into
the room and sends Maria Elisa to her bedroom. She orders Rigoberto to open the
door for Alondra. He does reluctantly, but it's too late, because Alondra is
not out there. Loretto sends him to go look for her, out in the rain.
Roberto is in his
bed, talking to his mother who is beside him. He has now come down with a cold.
He and his mother discuss what happened at the dance, and he says that he does
not want to see the three girls?his three killers--- anymore because they
completely wore him out at the dance.
Alondra runs
through the streets of the village in the rain, until she reaches Leticia's
house. Leticia awakens when she hears someone knocking at her door. She and
Maty think it might be one of Lety?s friends wanting to continue the party they
had earlier, and tells Maty to run whoever it is out. Maty answers the door and
it is Alondra, soaking wet and crying. She tells Lety and Maty what happened,
about Loretto abandoning her at the dance, and how Rigoberto did not let her
enter her own house. Leticia becomes very angry at Loretto and Rigoberto.
Rigoberto comes
home after having went to search for Alondra and tells Loretto that he did not
find her anywhere. Maria Elisa gets upset at her mother and brother for not
letting Alondra enter her own house. Loretto tells her to go back to bed. After
she is gone, Rigoberto says to his mother that this whole incident may be
beneficial to his plans. When Maria Elisa marries Don Pablo, they will no
longer have to depend on Alondra's father, and will be able to enjoy Don Pablo's
fortune instead.
Lety allows
Alondra to stay the night at her house. Alondra is grateful to her.
Trini discusses
with her daughters that Loretto didn't tell Alondra about the dance and how she
later left Alondra there without telling her she was leaving. They feel bad for
Alondra. They also talk about how Loretto manipulates Maria Elisa. Berta
mentions that she is worried about Roberto, because he got sick at the dance.
Lety suggests
that instead of waiting until Baldomero comes home from the hacienda, Alondra
should go there and tell him everything that has been going on in his abscense.
Alondra decides to take her advice and go.
The next morning,
Maria Elisa expresses her worries about what happened to Alondra to her mother,
and Loretto pretends to not be concerned. But deep down inside, she is very
worried that Alondra will go find her father and tell him everything. She and
Maria Elisa then leave for church.
Leticia and
Alondra leave for the train station. First, Leticia goes to Baldomero's office.
She asks for Baldomero and Jorge, and another worker explains that they have
both went to the hacienda "El Mortero", and tells her how to get
there.

Rigoberto to keep searching for Alondra. Maria Elisa confesses to Father
Gervasio all of her worries about the incidents that occurred last night.

goodbye to Alondra as she boards the train.
Baldomero and
Carmelina are enjoying their time together at the ranch.
Alondra is inside
the train. During the first stop, a mysterious man buys a ticket to a town
called Oyuelos. He gets on the train and there is no room for him to sit. He
puts his suitcase on a shelf and convinces a man who is sitting next to a bunch
of bird cages to sit with the cages in his lap. Alondra is sitting across from
him. He watches her sleep.
Loretto and Maria
Elisa decide to go to Trini's house to ask for Alondra, while Rigoberto decides
to go to Baldomero's office.
While Alondra is sleeping, the train stops, and both the
mysterious man and the other man with the bird cages get off. The mysterious
man?s name is Bruno, and he meets with his friend Ramiro. Meanwhile, inside of
the train, the cries of a baby awaken Alondra. She asks two ladies sitting next
to her when they will arrive at Oyuelos, and the ladies tell her that she just
missed the stop, because that's where they got on the train. She gathers her
belongings and stops at the next station, at Trinidad. At that station, a man
informs her that the only way for her to get to the hacienda "El
Mortero" is by horse. Alondra has never ridden a horse before. The guy
suggests that his little brother be Alondra?s guide. She accepts reluctantly.
Maria Elisa and
her mother visit Trini. Loretto asks if she knows anything about Alondra. Trini
tells Loretto that she hopes Alondra did not leave the dance with the man who
brought her, Jacinto Alatorre.
The men at Trinidad help Alondra get on the horse and the
give her a saddle.
Trini scolds Loretto for her selfish attitude towards
Alondra. When Loretto and Maria Elisa leave, Trini's daughters comment that
they feel sorry for Maria Elisa for having a mother like Loretto.
Alondra and her guide ride their horses through the
mountainside. Alondra is scared that she will fall from the horse, so she asks
her guide to tie her to it before continuing on their journey.

into the kitchen in her nightgown, to ask Librada again what she found out
about Raul. Librada tells her everything that the colonel told her that Raul

see him again. But he is cold with her, and insults her. She slaps him and says
angrily "How could you doubt my love for you?" Then she runs
upstairs, crying. Bruno now realizes that Alondra is telling the truth, and
that Jacinto was not. He goes after her and gets down on his knees in front of
her, saying that he will leave his wife and run away with her. Alondra cries.

Father Gervasio
and another priest discuss the situation with Maria Elisa and her family.
Alondra comes
home and Loretto answers the door. Rigoberto welcomes her home sarcastically,
but she ignores both of their comments and tells them that they will receive a
not-so-great surprise when Baldomero comes home and throws them both out of the
house. She finds Librada in the hallway and together they go to Alondra's room
to pack. Alondra tries to hurry, because she has a train to catch.
Lety plays her
piano for Maty, who expresses her worries about Alondra going away with a
married man. Lety says that they love each other and that is what matters most.
Maria Elisa is in
her room with a gun in her hand. She slowly points it to herself. While Librada
and Alondra are packing, they hear the gun go off and become frightened.
Everyone runs to the door of Maria Elisa's room. Since it is locked and they
can?t get in, Rigoberto kicks it down. Alondra screams for Rigoberto to go get
the doctor, while she and Librada lie Mari Elisa in her bed. Loretto goes to
the corner of the room and cries and blames herself for what is happening to
Maria Elisa, because she didn?t listen to her and insisted that she marry Don Pablo
for money. She asks God for forgiveness and pleads that he let her live. When
Rigoberto arrives with the doctor, everyone but the doctor leaves the room.
Don Pablo meets
with the banker again, because the banker insisted in talking to him. He
informs Don Pablo about the large amounts of money that have been withdrawn
from his bank account. Don Pablo says that he has been withdrawing money for
his wedding, but the banker insists that it is still strange. He shows Pablo
some papers that he signed, and Don Pablo becomes outraged when he sees that
the signature on the paper is not his! Immediately, he figures out that
Rigoberto has been stealing money from his account.}
Roberto is eating
ice cream in the plaza with the three girls again. They promise him to only
order one ice cream, but they don?t keep their promise and end up ordering
four. He doesn't have enough money to pay for all of those ice creams, and he
sees German and the guys at a table nearby. They are talking about Alondra.
Roberto goes over to them and says that he knows where Alondra is. German says
he will give him money for the ice cream if he tells him where Alondra is, but
Roberto makes them guess. German becomes impatient with him and demands he
tells the guys where Alondra is. Finally, he says that she went to Leticia del
Bosque's house. German pays him for the ice cream and leaves.
Alondra, Loretto,
and Rigoberto are waiting for the doctor to come out of Maria Elisa's room.
Rigoberto gets into an argument with Alondra. She slaps him in the face.
Loretto begs for Alondra's forgiveness, and Alondra says that who she really
needs to ask for forgiveness is Maria Elisa.
Maria Elisa tells
the doctor that the baby's father is not Pablo Miranda--- but a young soldier
Raul. The doctor says that he figured that Don Pablo could not be the father.
Bruno checks out
of the hotel, ready to go to the train station.
The doctor tells
Loretto, Rigoberto, and Alondra that Maria Elisa will be fine in a few days,
but she needs to rest a lot. Alondra follows the doctor to the door. He tells
her that the family needs to give her all their support and understanding.
Alondra says that she does support and understand her cousin, unlike the
others.
Bruno waits for
Alondra at the train station.
Loretto is with
Maria Elisa when Alondra comes in. Loretto asks for Alondra's forgiveness
again, and Alondra forgives her. But she wants to be alone a few minutes with
Maria Elisa. Loretto leaves the room, crying. Maria Elisa is asleep because the
doctor gave her a tranquilizer. So Alondra watches her sadly, then says goodbye
to her.
At the train
station, Bruno buys two tickets.
Alondra continues
to fix her suitcases in her room, with Librada's help. She is running late to
meet Bruno. Loretto begs Alondra not to leave. Alondra says that it is time for
her to search for her own happiness, and asks Loretto and Rigoberto to take
care of Maria Elisa, then she leaves. On her way to the station, she finds the
farmer who brought her home the night of the dance and asks him to take her to
the station, but to hurry because she is late.
The train arrives and Alondra is still not at the station. Bruno looks around, disappointed. Finally, he boards the train after he has lost hope that she will come. As the train pulls away, Alondra arrives at the station, but it is too late. Bruno is already leaving. She cries and screams his name in despair.
