Plot

edit

The Condes, a wealthy and influential family, appear to have it all: money, power, and a close, beautiful family. Tragedy struck when Adolfo (David Chocarro), husband of the eldest daughter Ignacia (Catherine Siachoque) died by falling out of a window in the family mansion. The other two brothers are Carola Conde (Ximena Duque) and Emilio Conde (Gabriel Valenzuela). Meanwhile, Adolfo's twin, Leonardo, continues to live in the mansion, confined to a wheel chair. When Gonzalo Ibañez (Gabriel Porras) marries Ignacia 6 months later, he is compelled to unravel the mystery of what happened to Adolfo. Mysterious events begin to envelop the Conde family suggesting that Adolfo is alive and well.

Pilar Arismendi (Maritza Rodríguez) and her husband, Javier Ruiz (Miguel Varoni), live next door with their two children. Behind the gloss of success and family felicity lurks a dark reality and secrets that threaten to devastate both the Ruiz and Conde families. Javier is a highly regarded and influential attorney, who, for years, is employed by the Condes. Javier's privileged position becomes threatened by Gonzalo, who is appointed Javier's business associate by his powerful father-in-law, Renato Conde (Daniel Lugo). Javier will do anything to protect what he believes he is entitled to. Romantic intrigue develops between the neighbors and further confounds the mysteries, tension, dangers, and suspense that loom large in the novela. Pilar has a sister called Rebeca Arismendi (Karla Monroig).

It is revealed that Ignacia, Carola and Emilio are not brothers. could not have children and so were adopted. Emilio gets married to Hilda (Sofia Lama) but they divorce after she gives birth to a child with problems and she has problems herself. Emilio starts working as gigolo.

Gonzalo/Inaki Mora, Adolfo/Ismael Mora and Leonardo/Ivan Mora turn out to be brothers, Mabel and Igor's sons. They want to take revenge on the Condes' so they have thrown Ivan out of the window and Adolfo took his place. They murdered several people who found out their true identity. The first person to find out Gonzalo is a criminal is Matias (Jorge Luis Pila), Rebeca's fiancee. Gonzalo shoots him in the presence of Adolfo.

Pilar falls in love with Gonzalo and divorces Javier. Gonzalo kidnaps Rebeca after she found out that Adolfo/Inaki and him are murderers. Adolfo/Ismael discovers her, she manages to escape but he follows her by car and causes an accident. She becomes paralyzed and mute.

Pilar's doppelganger, Raquel Arismendi (Maritza Rodriguez) also wants to get revenge and pour out her wrath on the two families, Ruiz and Conde. She is the author of "La Casa de al Lado" and "Condenados"; in "Condenados" she announces the next murders. She shoots Ignacia and kills her.

In Pakistan, La Casa de al Lado suffered from poor ratings, leading to it being cancelled on Episode 131 on June 12, 2013. The channel that was broadcasting this drama Urdu1 has no plans of starting any other Spanish or Croatian drama. The only other Spanish show the channel aired was El Cuerpo del Deseo which had high ratings. Other Spanish dramas like La Casa de al Lado and Larin izbor were major flops in comparison to Turkish shows like Aşk-ı Memnu and Adını Feriha Koydum. Turkish shows remain far more popular in Pakistan than Spanish ones.
