Dos hermanas (TV series)

In 1993, during the height of the terrorist attacks, Mery and Urpi are two sisters whose lives are changed when terrorists murder their parents, prompting them to flee to Lima. Once in the capital, they are placed in a shelter; however, the two sisters are separated; nothing is known of Urpi, while Mery escapes from the shelter and wanders the streets until she is adopted by Loyda Pérez, who invites her to live in her home with her children, Ramón and Betsy.

Many years later, Mery is married to Johnny, and has a daughter, Rosita. Against all odds, she sets out to find Urpi, who now goes by the name Fiorella, a professional who studied abroad and has returned to Lima to visit her adoptive family. Mery and Fiorella run into each other by chance on the street; however, since Fiorella doesn't remember anything, she resents Mery. Things change when Noelia, Fiorella's adoptive mother, is diagnosed with cancer, and she decides that Fiorella should take the reins of the Vitalia company, where none other than Mery and her adoptive sister, Betsy, are hired as assistants. Fiorella takes advantage of her new position to expresses her rejection of Mery, unaware of the truth. It will take a long time, and many obstacles, for the two sisters to reunite.^[4]
