Summary of Cara o Cruz
Mariana is a normal, middle-class girl who is about to marry the man of her dreams: Martin is a very rich, yet playful and goodhearted young man. But his heart is also quite weak due to a congenital defect, and he dies on his wedding night shortly after proclaiming himself the happiest man in the world. Mariana, who never suspected his illness, falls apart. Hunted by the press, she runs away to the neighborhood where she was born and rents an apartment there using the name Aida. Soon she discovers that her husband has left her in complete control of his family's assets, something which brings her no end of trouble from his incredulous relatives, but which also brings her into close proximity to Ismael, Martin's partner and best friend. Mariana has no idea that Ismael has always been in love with her in secret. At the same time, she meets Armando Pescador, an intelligent and fun lawyer who lives in the same building as Aida. Mariana begins to develop feelings for Ismael, but Aida also begins to fall for Armando. Worse of all, her "parallel" lives are set to cross paths any minute.

Esta novela fue todo un fracaso en los Estados Unidos casi nadie la vio. Por ser una mala historia.

En Mexico se transmitio a traves de CNI Canal 40, no fue tan popular, sin embargo a mi me gusto, me parecio una historia rosa con un toque de realidad y eso la hacia interesante, ademas es una produccion de argos y por supuesto con una gran calidad en el contenido.
