SYNOPSIS/SINOPSIS

 

     Univision (http://www.univision.com/content/content.jhtml?cid=160780)

     Un cambio de imagen de Thalía, que no alcanzó el éxito de sus otras mugrositas. Dejando atrás a las divertidas "Marías", Thalía interpreta a una trágica vendedora de flores. Curiosamente, Lupita Ferrer quien interpretara a la heroína en la primera versión de esta historia  de Delia Fiallo, es aquí la malvada suegra.

     Sinopsis:  Rosalinda trabaja en el puesto de flores del abuelo Florentino. Rosalinda pierde a quien cree que es su madre y ayuda a sacar adelante a su papá Xavier, y a sus hermanas Fedra y Lucy y su hermano Beto. 

     Fedra es muy engreída y vanidosa, Lucy es dulce como  Rosalinda. Beto es un vivido, ratero y mentiroso. Xavier se entera que una de sus hijas no es su hija por  lo que descarga odio hacia las tres muchachas. Rosalinda conoce a Fernando José Altamirano del Castillo y se enamora de él, pero él le oculta a ella que es millonario.

     Valeria, la madre de Fernando José es una mujer arribista y posesiva. Está obsesionada con su único hijo desde que  su esposo fuese asesinado hace años por su secretaria.

     Esta mujer Soledad Romero todavía está en la cárcel por su crimen. Lo que Valeria desconoce es que Soledad es la esposa de Alfredo, su propio hermano y que él mató a su marido cuando éste intentaba abusar de su secretaria.

     Por amor a su marido, Soledad cargó con la culpa y el secreto, incluso renunció a su hija recién nacida, a quien encargó a su hermana. Esta niña es Rosalinda.

     RCTV Summary. Rosalinda es una hermosa jovencita de 20 años que trabaja como dependiente en una floristería, y a quien se le cruza en la vida Fernando José, un joven pianista de un restaurante. Entre ellos nace el amor a primera vista, pero lo que ignora Rosalinda es que el hombre a quien ama es nada más y nada menos que un abogado recién graduado con muchísimo poder económico y perteneciente a una familia de clase alta. Resulta ser que para Fernando José, la música representa un desahogo emocional, por lo que como pasatiempo, toca el piano en el restaurante, propiedad de un amigo suyo.  Soledad, quien cumple una larga condena por proteger al hombre que ama, se ve obligada a separar de su lado a su hija Rosalinda y entregársela a su hermana Dolores para que la críe como si fuera su hija. La voluntad de Soledad es cumplida y Rosalinda crece al lado de su tía, sin saber que su verdadera madre está presa por el asesinato del padre de Fernando José, crimen que ella no cometió. Dolores y su esposo Javier tienen tres hijos: Beto, Fedra y Lucy. Javier piensa que Rosalinda también es su hija, pero cuando Dolores cae gravemente enferma, le confiesa a su esposo que una de sus tres hijas no es suya, pero muere antes de poder decir toda la verdad.  Valeria, la madre de Fernando José, se opone a su relación con una muchacha de clase inferior, así que, por todos los medios, intenta alejarlo de Rosalinda. El odio de Valeria hacia Rosalinda aumenta aún más cuando se entera de que ella es hija de la supuesta asesina del padre de Fernando José. Es por esto que comete un acto vil e imperdonable con la joven, lo cual es causa de la pérdida de la razón de Rosalinda y su separación de Fernando José, quien después de que se incendia el lugar donde se encontraba su amada, piensa que ella ha muerto. Sola y sin memoria, Rosalinda vaga por las calles hasta aparece en su vida Alex, un hombre que, admirado por su belleza y voz, la saca del abismo y oscuridad que hasta el momento le tocó vivir. Es entonces cuando la convierte en toda una estrella del espectáculo; sin embargo, el enigma de su pasado y el vacío inexplicable que siente Rosalinda no le permiten ser feliz. Mientras tanto, Fernando José se encuentra sumido en una fuerte depresión, por lo que se refugia por completo en la música para tratar de olvidar a la única mujer que ha amado en su vida: Rosalinda. Fedra, bella y ambiciosa, aprovecha el estado de Fernando José para conquistarlo y lograr su sueño: ser la esposa de un millonario.  Es entonces cuando el destino tiene deparado para Rosalinda y Fernando José muchos reencuentros infructuosos. Una vez más, la vida coloca frente a frente a Rosalinda y a Fernando José; pero él no la reconoce, y ella, no lo recuerda. Solo un milagro logrará unir nuevamente a estos dos seres que nacieron para amarse, separados por la tragedia, el prejuicio y la mentira. ¡El milagro de la verdad… el milagro del amor!

The secretary will give him the message that she will see him tonight.  Rosa tells FJ everything. Rosa wants him to take her far, far away, today as soon as possible. He tells her what about her wedding dress and the party. Rosa is crying, she doesn’t care, she only wants him to take her far away so they won’t separate her from him.

     Rinconlatino:  Subject: Summary for Tuesday - 5/16/00 Author: Lupe  Date:   05-17-2000 16:24 Rosalinda wakes up to the baby crying! She picks her up. Soledad and FJ are in the living room talking and hear Rosalinda screaming and the baby crying and run in. They can't find the baby. Finally they locate her under the bed but Rosalinda reaches for her and won't let go. They chase her around the living room, when Soledad gets the baby from her. FJ holds Rosalinda while Soledad leaves with the baby.  While this going on, Val is with Alfredo telling him that the baby cannot continue with that crazy woman for a mother and a murdering grandmother. He asks what she is proposing. Val says that she will take the baby away from them.  FJ continues to hold Rosalinda as he comforts her by saying that she needs to get well so she can hold her baby again. FJ cries too as he watches Rosalinda walk to the bassinette and pick up a pillow as if it is the baby and coo to her. Rosalinda is upset that the baby has been taken from her again.  Now we begin today's episode which is the next day. FJ is with Rosalinda's doctors explaining what happened. He says that Rosalinda won't eat and just walks around carrying the pillow like if it is the baby. The doctors regret that the baby was taken from the home again, but FJ tells them that he had no recourse because she could injure the baby and not be aware of it. They recommend to him that he has her committed to a sanitarium for the mentally impaired. He says that he won't because he loves her too much and his heart will not allow it. The doctors say that is the only place she can be helped.  Rosalinda is sitting on the bed cooing to the pillow as Soledad sits by watching over her. FJ enters the bedroom just having returned from the visit with the doctors. FJ begins to cry as he sees Rosalinda and Soledad leads him out so that Rosalinda will not see him and possibly become upset.  In the living room, Soledad asks FJ what did the doctors say. He tells her about their suggestion to commit her to the sanitarium. They both are visibly upset.  Soila, Ascension (?) and Javier are all with the baby taking care of her since Lucy went to the little store to take a telephone call. They are talking of the baby and Rosalinda when Lucy enters all upset and crying. She tells them about the possibility of committing Rosalinda to the sanitarium. They all cry as they look @ baby Erica.  Alfredo is with Soledad since he has come to see Rosalinda. She tells him that Rosalinda is very bad, and informs him of the sanitarium thing. He walks in to the bedroom to see Rosalinda who is holding the pillow feeding it a bottle (I think it is a perfume bottle.) He becomes very distressed @ seeing her like that.  At Val's, Enriqueta has called Val. Valeria asks if she has news of FJ. She tells Val that Gerardo has informed her that FJ told him that Rosalinda might need to be put in a sanitarium. Val smiles with pleasure. (What a bruja, and that is to be nice.)  Arcidia and Abril, the maids @ Val's house talk about going out on Sunday. Abril wants to go to church, and Arcidia says she needs to find a new boyfriend, so they need to go to Chapultepec Park.  Enriqueta continues her conversation on the phone with Val by telling her that FJ is very stressed @ the possibility of having to commit Rosalinda. He doesn't want to, she tells Val. Val asks, "Who is the baby with?"  Alfredo is with Soledad blaming himself for what has happened to Rosalinda. Sol says that if only the pregnancy had been know to her, then she would never have taken the blame for the death of Jose Fernando. Alfredo wants to know if Rosalinda knows that she is their daughter. Sol isn't sure but thinks that Val told her.  Getting ready for bed, Val is with Berta talking of Rosalinda and the baby. She says that Soledad better enjoy having the baby now because soon she is going to take her away from them.  Rosalinda is ready for bed staring out the window. FJ walks in, takes his pajama top off and goes to Rosalinda. He says that she is so very beautiful and has a strong desire to hold her in his arms like before. He puts her head against his bare chest, kisses her on the cheeks, then finally on the lips. She does not respond to him at all just has a blank stare. He leads her to the bed and tells her to rest and sleep. He lies with her for a bit, then puts his shirt back on and leaves her alone as he feels so sad as he makes a decision.  He goes out into the living room and informs Soledad that he has made a decision as to what should happen with Rosalinda. He first tells Soledad that he tried to be with Rosalinda, and explains that he loves her so very much and had a strong desire to be with her. He doesn't want for this to repeat itself because he can't promise to contain himself again. Soledad says that she understands what he is saying. He says that they will have her committed on Sunday to the sanitarium. Soledad is upset but so is FJ at this decision. 

        A few days later it is Sunday, and Soledad and FJ have packed Rosalinda's things and are leading her out of the apartment. He says that he is going to get the car but first he looks @ Rosalinda and asks that she forgive him.  Lucy crying is sitting on the couch holding baby Erica. She is telling Anival who is standing by the couch that she hates that Rosalinda is being committed. She is visibly breaking down, and he comes and sits by her to comfort her. Fedra walks in on them, and sarcastically says that he has become the official comforter of her sister. He gives her an ugly stare.  Next scene, Lucy is telling Fedra and Anival that the baby will go live with FJ and Tia Soledad so they can take care of her. Fedra says that Rosalinda will never get out of that place so that there will not be no more Rosalinda. She does all this with no sympathy or feeling @ all for those around her.  Same day Sunday, the girls Abril and Arcidia are at the park in a procession. They decide to go for refreshment, order orange drink and sit @ a table. Arcidia starts to make eye contact with this guy across from them. She tells Abril that he is very good looking and that there is another guy with him. This guy turns out to be Beto, Rosalinda's brother. The guys walk over to meet them. Arcidia and the Beto's friend are really eyeing each other. Beto looks @ Abril and makes a face.  FJ and Soledad have arrived @ the sanitarium. While Rosalinda is being shown her room, etc., they are talking to the Sister who is touring them around. She takes them to the garden where she says the patients have unlimited access to be there all the time they want. Soledad becomes frightened when she hears a scream and the Sister explains that those are the more mentally sick but are separated by security from the ones that aren't. FJ now wants to be shown to Rosalinda's room. When they enter, a nurse is combing Rosalinda's hair. FJ doesn't like the fact that she is in a room with several and asks for a sole room. Sister says that it is better to have people together because alone they won't learn to get along, and that it is to Rosalinda's benefit to be with others. Soledad begins to cry @ saying bye to Rosalinda. FJ looks @ Rosalinda very sadly and then bids her goodbye too.  Back at the park, Beto doesn't want to have anything to do with Abril because he tells his friend that she is ugly enough to scare someone off. The friend finally convinces the friend and tells him that he exaggerates about Abril. Beto agrees if his friend will pay for everything because he isn't spending a cent on this gjrl. They go on a boat ride on which finally Beto and Abril speak. She tells him that she works for a rich lady, at which he becomes very interested.  Lucy arrives @ the apartment to leave the baby with Soledad and FJ. She makes all these comments about Rosalinda. FJ is very depressed and tells Lucy to please stop because he can't think right now. He says that he feels that he'll never see her out in the world again.  At the clinic Rosalinda starts to think of the baby, gets antsy and runs around the room. She finds the pillow and coos to it like it's a baby. The other patient in the room takes it from her. Rosalinda becomes upset and starts screaming and arguing with this other lady. The Sister and the nurse intervene. The other patient makes fun of Rosalinda saying that this is not a baby because it doesn't have a head, arms and legs. The nurse takes this lady out of the room as the Sister tries to calm Rosalinda. The guys (Beto and friend) take Arcidia and Abril back to where they live and work. Beto really is in awe of where Abril lives and says that he is looking forward to seeing her some more and that he will dream of her tonight.  Alfredo is telling Berta about how he feels that his daughter is in the sanitarium. He talks of his feelings for Soledad and FJ's for Rosalinda. Berta thinks that FJ will get an annulment now because he is so young. Alfredo says no because FJ loves Rosalinda very much and will always wait for her, and especially because he feels more for her now because of this misfortune. Berta wants to know about Soledad, and Alfredo says they are together.  Abril and Arcidia are getting ready for bed and they talk of the guys. Abril is dreamy because Beto said he would dream of her.  At the same time Beto and friend are walking down the street. Beto is telling his friend that he is going to really see Abril a lot because she is going to be his ticket to getting lots of money. They laugh.  A few days later, FJ calls the Sister to see how Rosalinda is doing. He wants to see her. The Sister advises he wait but to do what he wants.  Lucy and Fedra are talking at home. Fedra says that FJ is young and probably will divorce Rosalinda so he can marry again. Lucy doesn't think that FJ will ever divorce Rosalinda because he loves her too much. Fedra says that we will wait and see.  FJ is in the car with Gerardo saying how much he misses Rosalinda. He thinks he can go crazy if he doesn't see her. They go to the store because he wants to take her something when he goes to see her. 

        At the sanitarium, Rosalinda is rocking the baby pillow, then she thinks that they need to go out. She goes to the garden, runs into the Sister, who asks what she is doing. Rosalinda just wanders around the garden and says to the baby pillow that they will leave this place.  Beto goes to Val's house to see Abril. He tells security that he is her cousin and to please call her. Abril goes out to see him a bit confused as to what cousin. She sees Beto and he tells her that he had to see her and has been thinking much about her.  Now we see Rosalinda up in a tree next to the fence holding the baby pillow. She is wanting to leave.  END OF EPISODE!  STAY TUNED FOR: FJ arrives at the sanitarium to see Rosalinda and they can't find her. He has brought her white roses.

     Rinconlatino:  Subject: Wed. 5-18 Summary Author: Helpful Date:   05-18-2000 04:41 Rosalinda is sent to the clinic for mental patients. She keeps on hugging the little pillow thinking that's the baby. Then while walking through the garden, she decides to take her pillow for a walk outside. So she climbs onto a tree, with the intent of climbing over the wall, and get out of the streets, when she drops the little pillow, she suffers once again the shock of thinking that her baby is dead. So she digs a whole and buries the pillow.  Meanwhile, Fernando Jose comes to visit her, and Rosalinda is nowhere to be found, but she shows up all dirty and with muddy hands, the nuns take her away to clean her up.  Rosalinda's roomie is in the kitchen licking the pot off. She steals a box of matches and runs off. Fernando Jose is in Rosalinda's room, showing her what he has brought her, chocolates, white roses, and a 'baby doll'. She takes it and once again thinks that is her baby. She starts singing to it, and Fernando Jose is remorseful again for seeing how Rosalinda has turned out. Somehow through her daze, she notices that Fernando Jose is sad, and offers him the doll, saying that the baby belongs to him also. And that she is not going to share it with anybody else but him.  Valeria is kept notify of Fernando Jose's actions by Enriqueta (Geraldo's mom). She gets a call, and tells Abril that she has permission to visit Ursula, who is sick, and tells Arcidia to acompany Abril. They take off, and visit Ursula, who is somewhat a mother figure to Abril. Ursula tells Abril that she has asked her to come, because she is dying and wanted to say goodbye. But Abril begs her to stay because she has no one in the world but her. But Ursula says, you have your mother, Valeria.. Upon hearing this Arcidia is shocked to know that Abril is Valeria's daughter. They leave and on the street, Arcidia tells Abril that she should not be so meek to Valeria, that she should stand up and tell Valeria about how bad she is being treated, etc.. They bump into Beto and his friend, who tell them to go for a walk. which they do. At this little park the couple separate, and Beto gets all mushy in front of Abril in order to please her and they kiss. Arcidia tells Beto's friend that Abril has a secret, that she is the daughter of their lady boss.  Back at the Vencindad, everyone wants to know if there is any news about Rosalinda's well-being. They wait for Fernando Jose to drop by to tell him of his visit to Rosalinda, who upon arriving tells them that she has reacted favorably, about how she liked the doll, and how she shared it with him, etc. Fedra is still playing around with Anibal, and tells him to plan the wedding. At which Anibal being so happy, tells Lucy who is once again heartbroken. Alfredo goes by Fernando Jose's Apt. but he is out, Soledad tells him, and somehow he notices that she had done something different (Lucy has helped Soledad fix herself up with a better hairdo and some makeup). Soledad says that she has changed these 20 years, and Alfredo tells her that for him, she is still the same. And they hold hands. 

        Beto and his friends, get on a bus to go home, after leaving the girls. On the bus, Beto finds out that Abril is in fact Valeria's daughter. Then tells his friend that is good news, about how this might change his fortune, and that soon he might be getting married.  At the clinic, the roomie, looks and searches Rosalinda's stuff. And not finding what she is looking for, she goes outside and tells Rosalinda to give her the chocolates, and Rosalinda's tells her that she has already given her all the chocolates.

The fire grows, and the room is on fire, and so is the roomie, while still clutching the doll.The whole clinic is now on fire. Rosalinda wakes up and smells smoke and tries to get out.  FREEZE FRAME  Preview:  Berta runs into Valeria room clutching a newspaper saying that there is some horrifying news about the clinic.

Sin embargo, ella había empeñado su palabra, y no retrocede: es su novio (no recuerdo su nombre porque hace bastante que la vi) quien da un paso atrás y permite que Fernado José se case con Rosalinda en la ceremonia que debía ser la de su casamiento, en su rancho. El se queda con el niño pobre a quien había rescatado en México DF, y Rosalinda y Fernando José se marchan, supuestamente para ser felices para siempre. Espero que te haya servido esta narración, cualquier cosa escribime!! Te mando un beso,  Mariela.  Escrito desde Mar 20 2000 , 10:11 AM
