Synopsis
Pasionaria is the story of Barbara and Jesús Alberto. Barbara Santana is a lively and enthusiastic girl, but she suffers from a dark secret that keeps her up at night and gives her no peace; seven years ago, she was the victim of rape and had a child she never saw, as her aunt made her believe the child died while she actually took her to an orphanage. Jesús Alberto is a young, ambitious mechanic with very strong Catholic principles, and he adores his wife and young daughter. When Barbara comes into his life, he is stirred with feelings beyond his control and tries to fight the passion to which he is very attracted. Although Barbara knows he is married, she pursues him and subdues him into an extramarital affair that breaks all the rules. Barbara and Myriam, the wife of Jesús Alberto become close friends, and when she falls sick and is near death, Myriam requests Barbara to remain by her husband's and daughter's side when she will no longer be there. Although Barbara is open, independent and carefree, Jesús Alberto is traditional, methodical and extremely chauvinistic, thereby leading to a clash in their personalities.
