Plot

Two childhood friends, Juan Pablo (Antonio Aguilar) and Ramiro (Manuel Capetillo) meet again, but when a difficult situation arises, the friends are slowly turned into rivals. Complicating matters is Juan Pablo's love for Lucía (Flor Silvestre).

Reception

[edit]

La guía del cine mexicano de la pantalla grande a la televisión, 1919–1984 states about the film: "The film tries to reproduce a climate similar to that of Doña Bárbara. Unfortunately, the beautiful and famous Venezuelan song that gives its title to Alma llanera is wasted."[3]
