The couple is excited, but then, Nuria’s father, a manipulative man who does not approve of their relationship, is diagnosed with leukemia and Juan Jesús decides to cancel his trip to support Nuria. However, the growing distance between the two due to Nuria’s father ends in a tragic divorce.
After seven years in New York, Nuria goes back to Ciudad de México. Juan Jesús calls Nuria, and when she asks where he is, he says he is in Amsterdam. And he is not lying, for he is in Amsterdam Street, talking from a public telephone in front of his house.
