What is Luz Clarita About?

Luz Clarita (Daniela Luján) is a sweet young girl. She really wants to find her mother. During her search, she experiences many sad and happy moments.

Luz Clarita's New Home

By chance, the de la Fuente family, led by Mariano de la Fuente (César Évora), decides to let Luz Clarita live with them. At first, it seems like she might just cause problems. But soon, everyone in the family, both kids and adults, starts to realize something important. Luz Clarita is actually teaching them that love is the key to happiness.

Luz Clarita's Search for Her Mother

Luz Clarita has her own challenges. She believes her mother is not dead, even though everyone else thinks so. She is sure her mother is out there, waiting to be reunited with her. With strong faith and a little help from Father Salvador (Alejandro Tommasi), she begins her search.

Challenges and Friendships

Living with the de la Fuente family, Luz Clarita faces some difficulties. Mariela, one of the children, sees Luz Clarita as a rival. From day one, Mariela tries to make Luz Clarita's life hard.

Luz Clarita also meets Natalia (Paty Díaz), a young helper in the house. Natalia is secretly in love with José Mariano de la Fuente (Aitor Iturrioz). Luz Clarita decides to help them be together. In return, Natalia gives Luz Clarita much-needed support and care.

New Connections

As her journey continues, Luz Clarita meets Soledad (Verónica Merchant). Soledad is a young woman with a mysterious past. She starts working at the orphanage on the same day Luz Clarita moves to the de la Fuente mansion. Luz Clarita feels a special connection to Soledad. When she sees that Soledad and Mariano like each other, Luz Clarita tries to bring them together.

Overcoming Obstacles

Luz Clarita's kindness and love face many challenges. Brígida (Lili Garza) is the strict housekeeper at the de la Fuente mansion. Also, Bárbara (Frances Ondiviela) and Erika (Sussan Taunton) are two proud women. They are determined to win over Mariano and José Mariano, no matter what.

Despite all these problems, Luz Clarita keeps fighting to find happiness with her mother. Through it all, Luz Clarita brings "clear light" into the lives of everyone she meets, making the darkness disappear.
