Plot

The Telenovela follows Andrés Ferreira and Brayan Galindo, who were switched at birth. Andres was born from a couple of little means and by a twist of fate ended up being raised by a wealthy family, and Brayan, was born into a wealthy family but ended up being raised by the poor couple. After 30 years, the mistake was discovered and the two children, now adults were forced to switch back. Andrés went to live with his father in the pensión where Brayan lived and met his true family; Brayan went to live with his real mother and his new fiancé, Fernanda Sanmiguel (who only wants him for his money, and is the lover of Andrés's cousin, Mateo). Brayan is now the owner of the Ferreira enterprise Mundo Express, and it is later revealed that Mateo, Brayan's cousin, is trying to steal his money as well as MundoExpress.

Cultural aspects

The name of Brayan Galindo reflects an irregular adaptation of Brian to Spanish. ^{[citation needed]}

The social consequences of massive dismissals of 200 employees as a result of restructuring inserts a dramatic effect into the plot, and creates a cold image of the business world and Andrés Ferreira.
