Victoria is the title of a Spanish-language telenovela about a woman who falls in love with a dashing younger man, when her marriage collapses around her. It is produced by the United States-based television network Telemundo and RTI Colombia. This limited-run series debuted in the US on December 4, 2007, after La Esclava Isaura finished. Filmed in Bogotá, it stars Victoria Ruffo, Mauricio Ochmann, Arturo Peniche, Geraldine Bazan[1] and Andrea López.

Story

At her 25th wedding anniversary party, Victoria Mendoza (Victoria Ruffo) finds out her husband Enrique Mendoza (Arturo Peniche) has a mistress, Tatiana López (Andrea Lopez). Suddenly Victoria's whole life crashes around her as she realizes her marriage is wrecked. As she tries to heal the pain of her husband’s adultery, she meets the 33-year-old Jerónimo (Mauricio Ochmann) out of the blue. [2] Published: November 29, 2007

Victoria falls for this younger man, giving her a second chance at the true love and passion missing in her loveless marriage. Unfortunately, many of her loved ones oppose her relationship, including her daughters Paula (Geraldine Bazán) and Mariana (Laura Perico), her mother Mercedes (Margalida Castro) and her ex husband. They blame her for the breakup. On the other hand, her son Santiago (Ricardo Abarca) offers unconditional support.[2] Whie her younger daughter Mariana (Laura Perico) is supposted to be going to university but she isn't, she instead goes to a bar. The owner of the bar, Pacho, gets girls high and then rapes them. And thats what happened to Mariana sadly. Mariana met him because of her other "friend" Arturo. Mariana actually wanted to get together with Arturo but Pacho convinced her into getting with him suppostedly just to make Arturo jealous. Victoria has many problems but does she know she has those problems? Can she solve them? So Victoria faces a difficult decision - either fight to keep true love alive or surrender and let it slip away.
