Dos Ilusiones

In Buenos Aires, a con job brings together Heriberto, an innocent from the sticks, and Cynthia, a blond knockout. Both aspire to act, and when Cynthia tries suicide, Heriberto becomes her protector, working behind the scenes to jumpstart her career. Through a comedy of errors, he comes to the attention of a studio head, who agrees to give Cynthia a role in a soap if Heriberto will become his boyfriend. Heriberto reluctantly accepts, and when Cynthia lands a role, she thinks her patron is an executive who assaulted her after a party. Mistakes and misunderstandings mount: can she make it as a star; can Heriberto keep his end of the bargain; and, will she figure out who loves her?
