Azteca America is launching on aztecaamerica.com “El Beso del Escorpión”.  Produced by António Barreira and João Matos, the telenovela has been a huge hit in Portugal and Brazil.

“El Beso del Escorpión” tells the story of Rita (Dalila Carmo) and Alice (Sara Matos), two women who discover they are sisters after the death of their mother, setting off a conflict between the two.  Alice wants to have Rita’s life while Rita wants to include Alice in the life she has built with her husband Fernando (Pedro Lima).  The well-intentioned Rita does not suspect that her sister is actually a monster who has come into Rita’s life to exact revenge by taking her place and destroying everything Rita has built.

Completely lacking scruples, Alice moves into her sister’s house and passes herself off as a kind person to gain her trust and eventually take her sister’s house, job, money, and family.

Shot in the beautiful and cosmopolitan city of Lisbon, “El Beso del Escorpión” presents a story about ordinary people caught up in an exciting and sensual plot that shows how evil can ruin the lives of those who are not prepared to face their enemies – enemies that sometimes are the people we think of as family.
