Doña Bárbara
After studying law in Caracas,
Santos Luzardo returns to take charge of his herd in Altamira, in the
Venezuelan plain controlled by Doña Barbara. The woman has the peasants under
her thumb, through a mixture of guile, firm hand and witchcraft. The encounter
between Doña Barbara and Santos causes her to fall in love with the young man
and tries to make him hers at any the cost.
