*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

"Rina" is the rags to riches story of a poor destitute street urchin who comes to inherit a fortune. One afternoon she has her fortune read via tarot cards, and is told she will become wealthy. However Rina sells straw dolls to support her paraplegic father and younger brother and sister who attend school, so she does not believe it. In fact, the entire family is on the verge of being evicted. One day Leopoldo, an elderly and sick man yells out the window to her and they become friends. Leopoldo lives with his sister-in-law, Rafaela and her son, Carlos Augusto. Rafaela hates Leopoldo, but Leopoldo plays a nasty trick on her, revealed upon his death. Rina is to inherit everything. Rafaela and her son come up with a scheme to retain the house: Carlos Augusto must marry Rina. But how will Carlos Augusto get Rina to fall in love and marry him? And will true love conquer all in the face of overwhelming adversity?

Remade with Thalia as "Maria Mercedes" (1992)and "Inocente de Ti"(2004)
