are horrified and outraged when they learn about the double-life their doting husband and father had been leading. They are
shocked to learn of Leopoldo’s long-term mistress and two daughters living in a neighboring town. Roman, Leopoldo’s
son, is even more infuriated when he learns that he must share his father’s wealthy estate with Carlota and Eugenia
- the two half-sisters he never knew. Bernarda, the girls’ mother, is a greedy woman who will attempt to deprive her
daughters of romance and happiness in order to maintain control over their inheritance. Alvaro, an honest and good-natured
young man, feels nothing but genuine affection for Carlota. He will suffer immensely when the hand of fate makes him believe
his true love has perished in a fire. Find out to what lengths some will go in their pursuit of material pleasures, and how
far others will go to exact the most hideous revenge imaginable.
