Newly restored, this Mexican clasic melodrama and social critique of class tensions follows a humble man's fight to be accepted by the upper class after making millions.

Synopsis

NEW RESTORATION

Carlos, a former factory worker of humble origins, has made millions — but the upper class refuses to accept him as one of their own. Meanwhile, Barbara, the spoiled daughter of an industrialist, is to enter into a loveless marriage of convenience. Tensions arise when the two fall madly in love.
