As fate wills, Antonio dies in an automobile accident. Adriana's mourning for Antonio ends when Cesar steps in to rekindle her lust of life. Soon, Adriana begins having dizzy spells. Cesar brings her to a specialist, and she is diagnosed with having an incurable disease. For the rest of their time together, Cesar woos Adriana and eventually proposes to her on a gondola.
