The series caused some controversy due to its depiction of the romance between Lolita, aged 12 at the start of the series, and Esteban, who is 18 years her senior, which led to the series being censored in Nicaragua and in Guatemala when it was transmitted in those countries.[1][2]
Plot
editSince the birth of Dolores, Lolita falls in love with Esteban and through her mother expresses this in all possible ways. But while Lolita does this, Dolores cannot be indifferent to the attributes of Esteban. The distrust of Rigoberto, the husband of Dolores, obligates Lolita and to Esteban to be separated for many years, without knowing about the immense love that she feels for him. But destiny and the eagerness of revenge pushes him again, this time to live a series of adventures and to be protected from common enemies. But his affection isn't enough, and they are obligated to be separated again, this time for six years, sufficient time so that she is a finished woman, and he understands that Lolita is the only woman in his life... but perhaps a forbidden woman for him, thereby making their love sinful.
