Abstract:In Venezuela, Doña Barbara is a beautiful and mysterious woman with a ferocious power over men-- it's even rumored she's a witch.

When her cousin Santos Luzardo returns to the plains in order to reclaim his land and cattle, he reluctantly faces off against Doña Barbara, and their battle becomes simultaneously one of violence and seduction.
