Storyline
Plot Summary |
An orphan, Lydia, follows her best friend's not-so-good piece of advice: pretending to be a wealthy writer's natural child. There is an excuse: her grandmother passed away and she couldn't pay the rent anymore and continue her law studies. Besides, every time she thinks she's got a job, the macho men want to abuse her. As an impostor, she's welcomed with open arms everywhere. Later on, after she becomes a lawyer, she will defend a young delinquent who committed the same fault as her - identity usurpation.
