Rafael witnesses Marina, a woman with a glass eye, being attacked on the street by Daniel, whom she has known since childhood they both spent in the orphanage. Rafael rescues Marina from Daniel and takes her to his home, where a relationship develops between them. Marina is pregnant but Daniel doesn't want the child, so Rafael offers to be the father, being physically unable to sire his own. He and Marina stay together as a couple, then as a happy family. But once everything seems to be settled, Daniel--newly released from prison--shows up again.
