Diego, who had previously been consumed by desire for his cousin, Emilia (Emilia Garcia), redirects his obsession towards Molly, who enjoys Diego's flirtations, finding the attention and respect missing from her relations with other boyfriends. The relationship continues to grow until Molly returns to New York. Diego decides to run away and win Molly's heart, while the girl’s tender feelings towards him have now turned into full-blown attraction.
