Caray, Caray!

Maximiliano (William Levy) is the son of Victoria y Osvaldo. A sexy, attractive, virile young man, intellitent and audacious in his mother's business. He has exquisite taste in dress, inherited from his father and learned from Victoria. Further, he can enchang women, who fall at his feet due to his captivating smile.

He works as an administrator in his mother's fashion house. He is responsible and creative, and knows how to solve problems rapidly and efficiently. He is a friend to Sergio Duarte, with whom he works.

Maximiliano meets María "The Unprotected" and is captivated by her beauty. He tries to seduce her, pretending his name is Ssergio Duarte. He just wants to pass some agreeable moments without attachment, but the girl rejects him and awakens his curiosity. He begins to get to know her and discovers she's different from all the girls he's known.



María Desamparada ("The Unprotected" or "The Defenseless") (Maite Perroni)is extraordinarily beautiful, noble and genteel. She's lived in an orphanage since the age of three, always thinking she was abandoned in the streets by her parents, when in reality her mother, Victoria, had an accident and this led to Maria being lost. She was raised with a strong resentment towards her birth parents, above all toward her mother for abandoning her.

When Maria leaves the orphanage she rooms with Nati and Linda, two girls very different physically and morally, but who have also suffered greatly in life. The three are like sisters even though their personalities are completely different.



Bernarda (Daniela Romo) is an elegant, mature woman with an extraordinary personality which inspires respect, even fear, because she is very strict. Apparently she has a generous and charitable heart, dedicated to God, but in reality she is pitiless, full of rancor. She is full of contradiction, speaking of doing good while in reality she is the incarnation of evil.

She feigns a nonexistant vulnerability - on the contrary, she is extraordinarily strong and uses her intelligence against those she believes are against her. She is seductive, skilled at blackmail, knows how to manipulate situations in her own favor. The fragility she pretends to allaws her to attack her enemies without awakening suspicions. She dedicates herself to persecuting those she deems to be sinners and punishes them believing this is her divine right, since her son Juan de Dios is a priest.



Victoria (Victoria Ruffo) is one of the most successful Mexican designers. Her fashion house is one of the most respected even on an international level. She is supremely talented, possessing an outstanding sensibility that makes it easy to intuit changes in popular taste and to be at the forefront, knowing and even directing the course of Mexican fashion.

She's traveled a long road to become the famous woman she is now. From a past as a humble domestic employee to being the owner of an empire in the world of fashion. When young she suffered live's injustices, but that's what motivated her to leave her humble world and begin her meteoric career. Despite suffering great penalties, including losing her daughter, she began to work as a costumer in a clothing factory. It was there that she discovered her innate talent for design, combined with her experience from youth helping her godmother to sew and embroider her own clothes.



Álvaro Guillermo (García Cantú} is a mature man, bitter and resentful of life, because despite being sex and attractive, he hasn't had the same opportunities as Osvaldo, whom he's hated all his life, thinking he stole: the love of Amalia, the leading roles he thought he deserved, but above all the love of Victoria. Since then, pretending to be his friend, he has planned to destroy him.

Solitary, sinister and malicious, he broods over his lack of success. He has a perverse relationship with Jimena, the girlfriend and later wife of Maximiliano, whom he subjugates to his desires and caprices. Alvaro knows well that the baby Jimena expects is his, but he doesn't care about her marriage. Ruining her life is part of his vengeance against the family Sandoval.



Jimena (Dominika Paleta) is very beautiful, the most important model in Victoria's fashion house. She has an unstable relationship with Maximiliano, whom she has attached herself to for monetary gain as she knowns he will inherit the great Sandoval fortune.

However, the relationship between Jimena and Max is less viable every day since he desides to break with her because she is a jealous, possessive blackmailer. In reality she suffers from a mental disorder. She asks Victoria to intervene and prevent the separation, but Maximilian has made up his mind to leave Jimena.



Sor Clementina (Alicia Rodríguez) is Mother Superior in the orphanage where María Desamparada spent her childhood. She is full of love for all orphaned children and has a special love for Maria who from a young age gained the trust and the heart of this nun, who is Maria's protector and spiritual guide.



Juan Pablo (Diego Olivera) is a priest who loves his vocation (to protect those most in need and help them find a better life). His energies are directed toward the most helpless: the elderly, children and adolescents in danger of being snatched, molested, or falling into drug addiction. He directs them towards sports and other recreational activites. He is modern but respectful. Like all human beings, being young he doubts his calling, and this causes him to slip up and bonk Victoria one night...

Osvaldo is one of the most sought-after galans (leading men) in Mexican television. He is amiable and affectionate with his family. Victoria is convinced he is faithful, upright, incapable of deceiving her or lying to her. The reality is different - he hides a huge secret that torments him: tired of being abandoned by his workaholic wife, he begins an affair with Maria's friend Linda.



Antonieta (Erika Buenfil) is a mature, elegant and guarded woman, chief of command to Victoria, whom she has known since that long-ago pregnancy. They worked together in the couture workshop of Humberto Padilla. Atonieta helped Victoria with her daughter until the terrible accident caused by Bernarda, in which Victoria's daughter got lost.

She is faithful to Victoria and will do anything for her happiness; she is the only one allowed to confront her and point out her errors. Antonieta is in love with Claudio, adminstrator at the fashion house and suffers in silence since she knows he's been in love with Victoria forever.
