''Son de Fierro'' was a 2008 Argentine TV series, featuring the "Fierro" family. The name plays with words in Spanish, and could be translated as either "They are the Fierro" or "They can be relied upon" (just like iron).

The parents of the family were Martín Fierro (no relation with the gaucho literary character) and Lucía Fierro. They had four sons: the young adults Juan and Ezequiel, and the teenagers Lucho and Sandi. Juan is blind, but managed to become a high school [[HotTeacher history teacher]]. Ezequiel, an adopted son, works at the butcher shop with Martín and Amadeo, Sandi's [[ChildhoodFriendRomance best friend]]. Sandi began to study medicine, but became a vedette instead. Lucho goes to school, and, even through he doesn't know it, [[spoiler: is an adopted son as well]]. And there's even more people at the Fierro house: Lucía's mother and sister Mimicha and Sissi, and Martín's brother Ángel.

Love relations: Juan is torn between his assistant [[TheQuietOne Rita]] and his student Morena Fontana (daughter of the school's principal). Lucho likes Morena, but to no avail; he would end with Karina, another student. José María Fontana, the principal, is an old love of Lucía, but never saw any action.Despite not knowing it, both Sandi and Amadeo [[UnresolvedSexualTension love each other]], although he's married to Sandi's friend Mabel and has a son. Don Martín, Martín's father, is gay and lives with his boyfriend Rafa.

It began as a comedy, but by the middle of the year, the series became DarkerAndEdgier. Martín and Lucía broke up and got new couples, [[NiceGuy Juan Cruz]] and Isabel, and Juan's relation with Morena was exposed, leading to his removal from school. He ended married with Rita (who secretly outed his relation with Morena). And then things are revealed….

The series was remade in Mexico as "Alma de Hierro".

%%
%% PLEASE read Administrivia/ExampleIndentationInTropeLists
%%
* ACupAngst: Karina suffered this when comparing herself to Morena or her other friends. Behind her back, other students called her "físico de nadadora" (which literally means "swimmer's body).
* AltarTheSpeed: Rita killed Juan by accident, when she tried to kill Morena in the hospital. The Fierro rushed a wedding, so Juan and Morena could get married. Juan died immediately after the kiss.
* AxCrazy: [[spoiler: Rita.]]
* BerserkButton: For Fierro, it's Fontana. For Fontana, it's Fierro.
* TheBusCameBack: Camila Bordonaba (who played Karina) had legal problems with her contract. Karina was '''literally''' PutOnABus to the very far and distant city of Choele-Choel. But she returned some months later, when the legal problems were solved.
* ContinuityNod: Martín Fierro is not based on the gaucho by José Hernández, neither it is a parody or homage: he just uses his name. Still, when Fontana takes the bus and they introduce a new character to dispute the love of Lucy... do they had to call him "Cruz"?
* DarkerAndEdgier: It all began as a comedy, but by the half of the year it became a dark drama.
* DysfunctionalFamily: To the max! Let's count: Martín, Lucía, Juan, Sandi, Lucho, Ezequiel, Mimicha, Angel, Sissi... 9 people living at the same house! And consider we do not count Amadeo, Morena, Rita, Karina, etc; who do not live there, but spend a lot of time in it.
* EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler: Rita.]]
* IAmNotYourFather: [[spoiler: Lucho is not really the son of Martín and Lucía. Their son had died on birth, and the same day a woman died after giving birth, so she gave her son to them before her demise, and that's Lucho.]]
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: [[spoiler:Rita was a nice girl at the beginning, Juan simply was more interested in Morena. But Rita moved on and on, doing things more and more evil and cruel, and in the end she was completely nuts.]]
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: "Martín Fierro", the name of the main character, is the same name than the gaucho from the "Martín Fierro" poem by José Hernández, one of the most famous pieces of Argentine literature. '''It is not''' an adaptation, or even an homage, to the character; he just uses his name.
* HotTeacher: Juan.
* MagicPlasticSurgery: The new actress playing Sisi
* PutOnABus: Mario Pasik (who played Jose María Fontana) left the series, to work at ''Series/ElHombreQueVolvioDeLaMuerte''. His character, the school's principal, left to Spain, and left Lucía in charge of Morena.
** Karina was sent away on a bus too, halfway through the series.
** About twenty or so episodes before the series end, Sandi too, when she's sent abroad with her baby.
* TheReveal:
* Lucho does not know it but [[spoiler:he is adopted too!]]
** Juan leaves Rita for Morena. After several failed attempts to keep Juan with her, Rita is revealed to be [[EvilAllAlong a mad serial killer]], and even kills him by accident, when trying to kill Morena. Morena was pregnant, and had a son by Juan after his death.]]
* SelfMadeOrphan: Sort of. [[spoiler: Rita killed her stepfather, pinning the murder on her birth mother, who was sent away to an asylum and she was left with no relatives...]]
* TeacherStudentRomance: Juan and Morena. And it worked... [[SuddenDownerEnding sort of]].
* ThrowingOffTheDisability: Averted. During a week, Juan went through a delicate operation that may restore his vision... and it failed. He regained his vision when he kissed Morena for the first time, but it was for just a moment. He finally recovered his full vision when he got married with Morena... but considering that he died immediately after the wedding (which was rushed because of his mortal wound), that just makes things more tragic.
* TragicallyDisabledLoveInterest: A male one, the blind Juan. More than that, even being blind he was the disputed part of a LoveTriangle.
* {{Yandere}}:[[spoiler: Rita.]] Oh, so much...
