RESUMEN:
Don Antonio Uribe vive en su rancho, cerca de la ciudad de Guanajuato.  Un día, recibe un mensaje de Isabel Clara, su amor de la juventud, llamándolo a su lecho de muerte.  Ella le ruega que cuide a su hija Esperanza (Edith González) y él le promete ser el segundo padre para la niña.  Consuelo (Alma Muriel), la esposa de Antonio, siente resentimiento por la presencia de Esperanza y la trata muy mal, mientras que su hijo, Luis Gustavo (Fernando Colunga), se siente inmediatamente atraído por Esperanza.  Esto, a Consuelo, le parece intolerable y decide separarlos enviando a Luis Gustavo a estudiar al extranjero y poniendo a Esperanza en un colegio pupilo de monjas.  Diez años después, Esperanza se convirtió en una hermosa joven.  Regresa al rancho para cuidar a Don Antonio, quien se encuentra enfermo.  Antes de morir, Don Antonio le entrega a Fermin Requena (Humberto Elizondo), su vecino y amigo, con confianza, una carta para que él entregue a su hijo, donde le dá la bendición si es que decide casarse con Esperanza.  Luis Gustavo regresa a la casa para el funeral y, cuando ve a Esperanza, se enamora perdidamente de ella.  Pero la belleza de Esperanza también despierta el corazón de Fermin.  Decidido a poseerla, esconde la carta, y junto a Consuelo, planean un siniestro plan para separarlos definitivamente.  Consuelo le "confiesa" a Luis Gustavo que Esperanza es hija ilegítima de su padre, y por lo tanto, su medio-hermana.  Una historia de amor de todos los tiempos, que sucede en los escenarios coloniales de Guanajuato.  Dos corazones partidos en dos for una infame mentira, pero unidos para siempre por la fuerza de su amor, un amor inolvidable, que ni el tiempo ni la distancia pueden borrar.
