What is Carita de ángel About?

The Story of Dulce Maria

The show tells the story of Dulce Maria, a sweet five-year-old girl. She is full of happiness, kindness, and good feelings. Sadly, her mother passes away. Because of this, her father, Luciano Larios, becomes very sad. He decides to live in another country for a few years. He leaves Dulce Maria and his other family members behind.

Dulce Maria goes to live at a Catholic boarding school for girls. It's called "Reina de America," which means "Queen of America." The nuns at the school take care of her. Her uncle, Gabriel, who is a priest, also looks after her.

Dulce Maria's Special Family and Friends

The only family member who visits Dulce Maria regularly is her Aunt Estefania. Dulce Maria calls her "Tia Pelucas," which means "Auntie Wigs." This is because her aunt loves to wear many different colorful wigs instead of showing her real hair.

Most of the nuns at the school really love Dulce Maria. Sister Cecilia and Sister Fortunata are her special friends. They often help her with her funny tricks and adventures! The kind Mother Superior is the headmistress of the school. She makes sure everyone follows the rules, but she also cares a lot about all the girls.

Dulce Maria's Secret Place

Dulce Maria has a secret spot in the school. It's called "The old little room." This is where her amazing imagination comes to life! In this room, she talks to her mother, Angelica, who is no longer alive. Her mother gives her advice and tells her wonderful stories.

Things start to get better for Dulce Maria when her dad, Luciano, announces he is coming back to Mexico. He has been away for two years. But her happiness doesn't last long. Her dad arrives with a woman named Nicole. Nicole is bossy and only cares about herself. She is Luciano's fiancée.

A New Plan for Dulce Maria

Nicole only wants Luciano for his money. She sees Dulce Maria as a problem. Nicole plans to get rid of Dulce Maria so she can have Luciano all to herself. Dulce Maria feels that her father won't be happy marrying Nicole. She also doesn't want to lose her father's love.

So, Dulce Maria decides to stop their relationship. She wants her father to notice Sister Cecilia instead. Sister Cecilia is much more like a mother figure than Nicole. Slowly, Luciano starts to realize he doesn't love Nicole. At the same time, he feels more and more attracted to Cecilia.

Sister Cecilia also realizes something important. Her wish to be a nun starts to change. She realizes she is in love with Luciano. Now, she has a big decision to make: should she become a nun, or should she follow her heart and be with Luciano?
