Five years after losing his wife, a grieving construction worker and his daughter—painfully withdrawn from life—are coaxed into attending his friend Esteban’s wedding. There, when Esteban lifts the bride’s veil, the man comes face-to-face with what looks like his dead wife. His daughter watches in confusion as tears flood his eyes, and the bride vanishes into the crowd.
Their life had begun in modest hope: the man worked double shifts while studying architecture; his wife Lucía worked at a gallery. They married despite her wealthy, disapproving parents cutting her off. But as their daughter Alma was born, Lucía’s dissatisfaction grew over their humble life. One morning she vanished, leaving only a note withdrawing parental rights. Later, the man learns Lucía has died in an accident—and her family erases her completely.
He pulled himself together, finished his studies, opened his own design firm, and raised Alma with love. Five years later, at Esteban’s wedding, he sees Lucía in the crowd. The vision shatters him—but as he steadies himself, he sees that the greatest triumph is the life he built despite loss.
