ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The Fernández sisters all want different things but are thrust together into a series of adventures and misadventures to forge their own paths and find happiness.
Guerrero, Mexico, early twentieth century. A tragedy reverses the fortune of the Fernández family. Following the death of his wife, Micaela, and their youngest daughter, Milena, Don Ismael is left alone with his four remaining daughters, who are forced to grow up fast. Evelina, Faustina, Laureana, and Lena struggle to find their places in the world, far from the warmth and security of the family hacienda, Las Alumbradas. This is especially difficult for Lena, whose heart is heavy with nostalgia for the home of her youth. To compensate, she becomes belligerent and rebellious, and exploits a talent that defies rational understanding. Drawing on the ancestral teachings of the indigenous women who lived on the hacienda, Lena discovers the ability to cast and undo spells to protect those she loves from suffering. But if her life’s purpose seems to be helping others, especially her sisters, how will she find her own happiness?
Las Alumbradas tells the story of four sisters who navigate a series of extraordinary events, overcoming adversity in a tireless search for love.
