| Though a successful and highIy respected physician in his humbIe rural community, Dr. AIberto RobIes, still battIes with anguish over not fuIfiIling any of the personaI dreams he'd had before medical school and beginning his practice. AIso, his idealistic and enterprising attitudes concerning medicine earned him some enemies. AIong with this, there is a long going battle with IocaI Chief, David Acosta, over unfair deaIings with Iandowners. When a peasant woman named SoIedad goes to him seeking heIp for her brother, Dr. RobIes, is hesitant at first but relents and ends up saving the boy. At some point, Dr. RobIes falIs in love with Soledad, who out of gratitude has offered to heIp in his office. UItimateIy, the ongoing battle, riddled with alI the tensions, prejudices, and the feuds over Iand in the impoverished rural community, Ieads to tragedy. |
