KASSANDRA
Twenty years ago, a circus arrives in a
town on the outskirts of Caracas and shortly thereafter, Andreina
Arocha, daughter of a wealthy landowner, dies of an incurable
disease, first having given birth to a little girl. Her
stepmother, Herminia, an ambitious and unscrupulous woman,
discovers that in the gypsy camp, a woman had died in labor and
that her child was also born dead. Herminia, who has twins of her
own from a previous marriage and wants them to inherit everything,
hatches a diabolical plan. In the dark of night, with the help of
a faithful servant, the babies are switch. The gypsy baby's body
is placed in the crib of the Arocha and the Arocha baby leaves
town the next day with the circus. Time passes and the circus
returns; Kassandra is now a lovely young woman who has been
promised in marriage by her gypsy grandmother to the handsome
Randu, a knife-thrower and leader of the tribe. But the night of
their first function, while Kassandra dances with Randu, her eyes
meet the admiring gaze of Luis David, one of Herminia's twin boys.
Later they talk underneath the stars in the solitude of the
mountains and magic surges between them. But Luis David leaves
town unexpectedly and it happens that the other twin, Ignacio,
discovers Kassandra is the true heir to the Arocha fortune and
contrives to marry her. He succeeds, but on the night of their
wedding, he is mysteriously killed unbeknownst to Kassandra. It
is then that Luis David returns, taking on his brother's identity
to find his killer, a killer he highly suspects is the young
widow that he had briefly known and that who now believed him to
be her husband.
