Dora, the daughter of the owner of the hacienda El Trapiche. Destined to marry the heir of another nearby farm, she asks to travel to the United States. There she meets her fellow countryman Leonardo, with whom she has a torrid affair. When they return to Colombia all kinds of situations will happen to them.

A story of pain and misery, a human theme and of palpitating actuality. It expresses all the anguish that the poet put into the song. This film was withdrawn from the billboard six days after its first screening.
