The brand new telenovela ‘A Passion for Revenge’ features some of the biggest names in the telenovela industry such as Aarón Díaz (playing Arturo), Gonzalo García Vivanco (featuring as Flavio) and Ana Lorena Sánchez (featuring as Sophia) and revolves around the lives of the Gallardo brothers seeking revenge and justice against a man they suspect to be responsible for the death of their sister, Ignacio del Junco, the same man who also won their sister’s heart and got her pregnant.
Despite their suspicions, they soon find out that Ignacio is dead and they start to focus their revengeful efforts on the del Junco family and Ignacio’s widow, Cayetana Belmonte del Junco (Sonya Smith), a woman with a fatal wrath for anyone in her path. But things do not go as intended for the Gallardo brothers as they soon find themselves entrapped and bewitched by the beautiful del Junco sisters. When the intentions of the Gallardo brothers are realised, a war between the families erupts and an unparalleled series of dramatic events ensue.
