Plot

The protagonists of this telenovela full of anecdotes and told in a comedic tone are the Hierro family. José Antonio Hierro, a good and friendly but excessively jealous man, whom even his wife calls by his last name, married Elena Jiménez 25 years ago and today they have three children: Sebastián, Sandy and Wicho. They live decently thanks to the business that Hierro has built with his work: a delicatessen located in front of the house, where, in addition to Hierro and his family, also reside Mimicha and Paty, Elena's mother and sister, Angelito, Hierro's brother, and Ezequiel, whom Elena and Hierro picked up from the street and have cared for like another son.
Sebastián lost his sight at the age of ten, so Elena stopped teaching to help him adapt to his new life. Today he has a degree in History and teaches that subject at the high school that his brother, Wicho, attends. Renata, a charming and rebellious teenager, is also enrolled there.
Sandy is the pride of her father and studies Medicine, although she also has a vocation for dancing and showbiz. She knows that Hierro would never allow her to change her profession, but she has the support of her paternal grandfather, with whom Hierro has not spoken for 30 years, because he does not forgive him for discovering at age 40 that his sexual orientation had changed becoming gay and, at the same time, whitewashing the situation before his family and society which, in Hierro's eyes, was what caused the illness and death of his mother.
Wicho is an immature, rebellious and funny young man who doesn't know what he wants and feels that he is the one to whom nobody pays attention in the family.
Both Sebastián and Wicho fall in love with the same young woman: Renata Higareda, the rebellious teenager, who turns out to be the daughter of Saúl Higareda, the man Elena was going to marry before meeting Hierro.
Saúl, although years later married another woman, could never forget her. Today he has returned to Mexico, divorced and with an important position in National Education, and he has called Elena to work alongside him because he is determined to get her back, no matter what he has to do to achieve it. He will even have to face the fact that Wicho has fallen in love like a fool with his daughter, Renata, while she has in turn fallen in love, and very sincerely, with the visually impaired Sebastián, Elena's other son.
Mimicha, being from a wealthy run-down family, has never resigned herself to the fact that her daughter, Elena, has married “a sausage maker” and she supports and encourages the rapprochement between Saúl and her. But when this becomes difficult, she decides that her younger daughter, Paty, will be the one who manages to win over the public official she wants as a son-in-law.
This complicates things and causes great pain for Angelito, who has fallen in love with Paty, whom he sees as his soul mate since neither of them has ever worked and they like to live at the expense of others: Paty, with her feminine charms and her high-born surname, and Angelito being a scoundrel particularly skilled at dealing, entanglement and deception that yield immediate profits.
Very soon Saúl's world is turned upside down with the emergence into his life of Elena's three children, in addition to the problems that Hierro will cause him while defending his marriage, because the Hierros know very well how to defend what they love.
The problem for the other two Hierro males is that they face their own blood: Hierro against Hierro for the love of Renata, forming an entertaining triangle that Rita, Sebastián's assistant, will break to win the love of the Professor, whom she obsessively adores.
The fate of the love triangles of youths and adults takes unexpected turns depending on the reactions and interventions of each of the Hierros, ending in a surprising outcome that will leave important lessons for each member of this family that truly has a Soul of Steel.
