## Synopsis

Por ella soy Eva (2012) is a Mexican telenovela comedy-drama created by Elkim Ospina, Rosy Ocampo, Juan Carlos Troncoso and Fernán Rivera, produced by Televisa for Las Estrellas. Jaime Camil plays Juan Carlos Caballero Mistral, a handsome man unjustly accused of financial fraud, who transforms into a woman named Eva so he can win back Helena Moreno Romero, played by Lucero, the love of his life. Helena Rojo plays Eugenia Mistral de Caballero, a formidable matriarch whose family web of loyalties and rivalries shapes the story. The engine of the series is a double pursuit: Eva must charm Helena while quietly unmasking the people behind the fraud and the theft of Helena's project. Each episode is built from disguises, close calls, misread intentions and escalating schemes, carried across a single self-contained run of 166 episodes. Its tone is breezy and melodramatic, mixing farce and sentiment in the classic telenovela manner. Fans of Yo soy Betty, la fea, Tootsie and La usurpadora will find resonance in its gender disguise romance, its heightened emotions and its theatrical wrongful accusation plot. The setting is contemporary Mexico, and the appeal lies in its warm, playful rhythm and its tangled romantic mysteries.
