Magdalena's life has been haunted by her male relatives, the Trejos, a bunch of bullies who had driven the girl's mother to an early death.
Knowing he can't have Aurora unless he marries her, he asks for her hand in marriage and hurries back to his native Maracaibo.
Not only does Manuel prove to be a brutal lover, but he pays little attention to his wife and carries on an affair openly with his servant.
When Magdalena, who is on her way to Curaçao to join her revolutionary boyfriend, stops in Maracaibo to visit, Aurora is thrilled.
