María

"María" is the story of an impossible love, fueled by hope and perpetuated by death. María, being still a child, is orphaned and grows up as one more daughter in the home of her cousins Efraín and Emma. After finishing his secondary studies, Efraín returns home. Soon after, an immense love is born between him and María that Efraín believes is incestuous when he considers that he has fallen in love with his own sister. When he knows the truth, her love for her is openly manifested. Happiness is interrupted when Carlos, Efraín's best friend, proposes to María. However, the love for Efraín is stronger: María rejects Carlos' proposal. Subsequently, the handsome lieutenant Barrientos appears at the hacienda who, due to his interest in María, makes Efraín jealous, a situation that ends with a challenge to a duel that fortunately is not accepted by the military. Barrientos, after clarifying everything, says goodbye to the place, to Efraín's peace of mind.

A greater threat breaks into the lives of the two young lovers: Efraín's father insists that his son go to study medicine in London, which precipitates the vulnerability of María with respect to the disease she inherited from her mother: epilepsy. , that more than a body ailment, it seems to be a heartache, due to the imminent absence of his beloved. Paradoxically, what she obtains from María's fragility is reinforcing the convenience of Efraín's trip, who supposes that, studying medicine in London, he will be able to find out the cure for the illness that María suffers from.

The hour of farewell has arrived, Efraín finally travels and María, increasingly ill, only consoles herself with the hope of her return and with the love letters that arrive from London. A year later, Efraín receives the news of María's seriousness and returns immediately, bringing in his mind the image of his lover who calls him. Upon arrival, however, Maria has already passed away. Heartbroken, Efraín goes through the places where he shared her most beautiful love with her and finally, after writing the story of her unhappy love, he is lost at full gallop in the dark of night.
