Plot

Teresa Hernández, whom everyone calls Gaviota, is a farm laborer who travels the country with her mother, Clara, working the harvest. Every year, they return to Tequila, Jalisco for the reaping of the blue agave at the La Montalveña hacienda, owned by Don Amador, the patriarch of the Montalvos, a family with a long history of tequila production. At the beginning of the story, Don Amador knows his end is near and arrives to spend his final days in the land he so much loves.
When Don Amador dies, his family gathers for his funeral. His grandsons, Rodrigo and his cousin Aarón, travel from London, where they are studying for a doctorate. The cousins grew up as brothers, but their grandfather's will awakens Aarón's ambition, as control of the family fortune will ultimately fall to the first son fathered by one of them. Aarón feels confident, knowing that Rodrigo has never been able to make love; however, Gaviota's arrival in his life will change Rodrigo's destiny.
Upon meeting, Rodrigo and Gaviota feel the disturbing call of love for the first time; awakening a passion that dominates them and they both give themselves completely. Rodrigo promises Gaviota that he will return in a year when he finishes his doctorate to marry her. Shortly after, Gaviota discovers she is pregnant. Unaware of the size of the world, she decides to go to England to find Rodrigo. Tricked by a local photographer who promises her help, Gaviota falls into the hands of a gang of white slavers who send her to a brothel in Paris.
Gaviota escapes and begins her pilgrimage in search of the man she loves. Alone, without knowing the language, only her faith and her great love will sustain her in the worst of times. Aided by a generous Italian man and a group of English nuns, she returns to Mexico to find a life very different from the one she left behind; a life of pain and disappointment. A life in the big city, where ambition, resentment, and lies reign; a life that could turn to stone the innocent heart that began that fateful journey... Distilling Love.
