Retrato de familia (TV series)

Pilar de Mariscal (Saby Kamalich) and her two daughters, Cecilia (Helena Rojo) and Irene (Diana Bracho), live in the city of Guadalajara. Cecilia is married to Agustín Preciado (Julián Pastor) with whom she has three children: Elvira (Yolanda Andrade), Octavio (Aitor Iturrioz) and Cristina (Irán Castillo). Despite the bad relationship between Cecilia and Agustín, she always tries to ensure the well-being of her children. However, Elvira has always despised her mother and instead idolizes her father and her aunt, Irene.

Irene is married to Álvaro (Alejandro Rábago), a very promising architect. However, Irene's impatience to achieve a good social position and the fact that they did not marry for love, but that their marriage was arranged by Doña Pilar, causes the couple to drift apart. In fact, Irene has always been secretly in love with Agustín and they have been lovers for years.

Years later Cecilia and Agustín get divorced and he leaves the family home. Elvira has become the worst enemy of her mother and an ally of her aunt. Mother and daughter grow even further apart when they both fall in love with the same man, the young doctor Esteban Acuña (Alfredo Adame).

Elvira becomes obsessed with Esteban and even more so when he confesses to her that he loves Cecilia. That obsession leads her to leave Diego (Raúl Araiza), her lifelong boyfriend. On the other hand, Agustín goes to Esteban's clinic due to serious health problems, but he ends up passing away. Elvira mistakenly believes that Esteban and Cecilia murdered her father and so she will initiate a revenge against her own mother and the man she claimed to love.
