Everyone calls her that not only because of what is obvious to the eye but also to differentiate her from her older sister, who is equally beautiful and has a similar name: Margarita Luisa, “la Grande” (“the Elder”).
"La Grande" is still in mourning, since exactly one year ago the sea took the life of Ernesto Lopez, the man she was going to marry.
"La Bella" is sad because she has to say goodbye to Mariano Gonzalez, a modest teacher who has won her heart and is now leaving the island to never return.
That is how Simon Vargas, who will be known on the island as “the Castaway”, regains consciousness in the arms of a beautiful woman whom he confuses with an angel.
Because inevitably, Margarita "la Bella" also falls under the spell of "the Castaway’s" sensuality, tenderness and joie de vivre.
