Rosario (Jennylyn Mercado), is a sophisticated Filipina flapper in the 1920s who has just arrived from New York City, and is spending her vacation in their hacienda. She is the mestiza daughter of Portuguese ship captain Don Enrique (Phillip Salvador) and Filipina Doña Adela (Eula Valdez),[3] Rosario was a passionate woman who lives according to her heart's desires. She was a woman ahead of her time.[4]

She meets and falls in love with Vicente Velez[3] (Yul Servo), an older man who manages the tobacco plantation owned by Rosario's family. When Rosario's father finds out about his daughter's scandalous affair, he sends Rosario to a convent.

She escapes, and elopes with Vicente to Manila where they raise a family. But Rosario's life of married bliss slowly crumbles when Vicente becomes ill with tuberculosis, and she is lured to committing adultery.
