"Amarte es mi Pecado" (Loving you is my Sin) is a truly unique story. It is comparable to "La Otra," also produced by Ernesto Alonso, also directed by Benjamin Cann, also written by Liliana Abud, and also starring Yadhira Carrillo. AEMP has some of the most memorable characters ever. Who can forget about Isaura (Silvia Pasquel),the cruel woman that goes out of her way to get money through her step daughter's, Nora (Yadhira Carrillo), suffering and beauty? She is one of the few funny villains in novelas, characterized by the lipstick on her teeth and her whistling. Who can forget Casilda (Tiare Scanda), the physically and spiritually unappealing woman that envies the attention Nora gets from the handsome Leonardo (Alexis Ayala). Another memorable character was Alejandra, Nora's aunt, who strictly follows the laws of upper class society and makes her niece follow them herself by urging her and teaching her to marry a wealthy man. But at the center of the show is the beautiful love story between Arturo (Sergio Sendel) and Nora and how each of them make mistakes that distance themselves from each other. The first episode itself demands your attention due to the fact it is nonlinear and the movement of the camera as it begins with Nora explaining to a police officer why she shot the despicable Heriberto (Antonio Medellin) after he attempts to rape her. She begins by confessing that before her father died, he had made her promise him to marry a wealthy man. It is for this reason she thinks that loving Arturo, a poor airplane pilot, is a sin.
