Plot
Following the death of her mother during child birth, Susana, becomes a naïve, clumsy and good-hearted orphan who ends up serving at Mrs. Engracia's estate. The estate is also home to three nephews of the lady: Asunta, Trini and Lorito who were unemployed and are currently working for lady Engracia. As the economic situation gets worse, Engracia rents a room for the handsome Felipe, who, according to a town gossip, has a bad reputation.
