Plot

Lupita Flores knows her fiancé Carlos Fernández was in a boat sunk by a German submarine and she prays to the Virgin of Guadalupe.

Later on, she cannot sleep and she starts reading a book about the apparition of Tonantzin as the Virgin of Guadalupe.[2] The story follows Juan Diego, who sees a vision of the maiden at Tepeyac. Eventually, Carlos is saved and Lupita and Carlos go to Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe on December 12.
