Plot: Federico is the coach of the female field hockey team of a very high-level club, and is about to marry Cecilia, one of the players and the daughter of the club's owner. Everything is looking perfect for this young couple who is also planning their marriage with a very important party. In a town located in La Costa, Federico's estranged father, whom he has not seen for ten years, suffers a heart attack. Before he dies, he asks his son to take care of Tini, his 8-year-old sister, whom he has never met before. Federico's life changes drastically as he now must be a "father" to a little girl who along with her inseparable puppy, will turn his whole world upside down; things get more complicated when he meets Julieta, the captain of the hockey team that his father used to coach, whose beauty and simple way of life charm him deeply. Julieta, Tini and her adorable dog will make him experience the most hilarious situations in order to be accepted as part of his life. When Federico decides to follow his heart, leave everything behind and start a new life, Cecilia does everything she can to hold on to him and get to their longed-for marriage. On the other side, Julieta and Tini try to get Federico to discover his true essence and take on the legacy of his father. Julieta and Cecilia will face each other in the national hockey final match not only as captains of their respective teams, but as two women who dispute the same man's heart. Federico's final decision, the imminent marriage with Cecilia and Julieta's departure abroad will cause an unexpected ending, full of tenderness and emotion.
