Eugenia dies in childbirth, but Bernarda convinces Alvaro that it was Carlota who died. Devastated, he moves to the country to live with his father, where he meets Cordelia, identical in appearance to Carlota. Social-climbing Cordelia takes advantage of Alvaro’s grief, and marries him for his wealth and position. In the meantime Carlota is trying to get her husband back.
