In the village of El Salado it is a window to the past; in it the traditions, beliefs and customs of old remain alive. And although this gives it an extraordinary color, it is not all perfect, because its inhabitants still believe in the supernatural, in witchcraft and curses, so when Carmen the mother of the little Aurora dies giving birth, immediately Macrina, the midwife spreads the news that the girl is the culprit because she was born with a mole with the appearance of a skull and that is clear evidence that she carries misfortune. Thus, the baby is marked for her whole life as a bearer of a ‘curse'. In the presence of the innocent creature, the neighbors react as if the very devil were planted in front of them, causing Severo, a despicable bastard who is leaving it all around, to cast a threatening warning to Aurora, swearing that she will never have a family, because her destiny is written and must be fulfilled.
