Synopsis
The story mainly revolves around Monchi Maestri, an aspiring musician in his 20s, loosely written after Diomedes Diaz, minus the negative events of his life.[6][1] He lives in the El Carrizal town and falls in love with Diana Lacouture despite their families having a conflicted background.[7] Monchi's family, the Maestres, was exiled from its home due to the influence of the Isazas, a powerful family in the Caribbean region of Colombia, and of a close associate and Diana's father, Antoine Lacouture, who regrets having taken the lands of the Maestres.
Monchi and Diana Lacouture fall in love, only for it to be revealed that Diana was to be engaged to Fito (Nicolás Nocetti), an ambitious Argentinian who seeks to marry her for his own obscure intentions.
