Amanecer (English: Dawn)[2] is a Mexican telenovela produced by Juan Osorio for TelevisaUnivision. It is based on the 1986 telenovela Monte Calvario, itself an adaptation of Delia Fiallo's radionovela La mujer que no podía amar. The series stars Fernando Colunga and Livia Brito.[3] It premiered on Las Estrellas on 7 July 2025.[4]

Plot

Leonel Carranza is a landowner whose goodness has been overshadowed by betrayal. After the abandonment of his wife and the tragic death of his daughter in a fire, Leonel seeks revenge. Convinced that Alba Palacios and her family are responsible for the tragedy, he forces her into a loveless marriage. Alba, a woman burdened by family debts, finds herself trapped in this union. However, as their lives intertwine, Leonel and Alba discover that resentment can lead to deeper feelings. The complex relationship intensifies with the arrival of Sebastián Peñalosa, a doctor with dark secrets and a dangerous obsession for Alba. Sebastián shows up at Villa Escarlata to treat the physical and emotional wounds of Leonel and his son, but his true intentions threaten to unleash a war for control of Leonel's plantation and Alba's heart. Adding to this is Atocha, Leonel's manipulative sister, who hatches her own plans to maintain power over the Montoro estate, even if it means eliminating her own brother. In the midst of this whirlwind of deceit and challenges, Leonel discovers the possibility of falling in love again and finding meaning in life.[5]
