Synopsis

In the middle of a cosmopolitan city, lives Ana Jesús Amaral, a decent girl with profound Christian morals is the victim of a misogynistic society. Convinced that women would be a great power if they had the idea of helping each other, she has the following slogan: "Defend your dignity, woman". She starts a campaign to support a famous journalist Patricia Lara, in a civil case concerning the maintenance of her husband. In this environment, Ana finds herself once again with Juan Marco Coronel, an innocent love from her childhood and the first man who kissed her. Now that little boy turned into a bright lawyer, and just happens to be the defence attorney in the Patricia Lara case. Juan Marco is a womanizer whose purpose is to win a bet he made with his friend Luis Lam. Luis bet him $100,000 that he couldn't sleep with 70 women in one year. Ana Jesús is the seventieth woman he will have to seduce. It will be no simple task, but Juan Marcos is a betting man. On the way towards achieving his goal, he will discover hope and a new opportunity to love. She will meet his match, but destiny will make an unexpected move: she will become pregnant. How can a womanizer conquer the love of his life with lies? Ana Jesús won't be an easy prisoner and much less with the help of three women who like her, have the special talent of being able to change men. Greta will discover the most terrible weapons that women have to manipulate men: feelings. Ana Jesús will gain the respect of the man who humiliated her, while always defending a woman's dignity. Magdalena, in her thirties, with patience and traps will get the man she loves. And finally Miss Revueltas, who in her late single status, will discover the positive side of sharing her bed with a man, on the hunt for her most prized dream, motherhood. All of them together form a clan of women, who will force men to be the way they imagine them to be which is the ideal man.Amor a Palos, Novela Venezolana de RCTV (2005) Sinopsis Fotos & Trailer
