Love and Betrayal: Reyes is in charge of a family made up of his three younger siblings. Their parents died a long time ago, and Juan has always taken care of his brothers and his sister in an unselfish and, sometimes, obsessive manner that leads him to quarrel with his two brothers. However, it is different with Lidia. She is the little girl, the apple of their eyes, and the only one who will not challenge Juan’s authority or betray his confidence. Everything changes when Lidia tells them that she has fallen in love with Bernardo Elizondo, a powerful businessman devoted to manufacturing olive oil. The family discovers that Bernardo Elizondo had more enemies than his own family would have thought, and they will try to solve the puzzle that will let them discover the real nature of Lidia’s and Bernardo Elizondo’s relationship.

Deception with Keith Barry: Reading people, implanting thoughts, predicting behaviour and hacking into the subconscious may sound like science fiction, but one man does it – and will show how it’s done. World-renowned mentalist Keith Barry delves into the mysteries of the mind, revealing how ordinary people can better harness their own abilities. These skills have been seen on the stage in Vegas, but rarely have they been applied to the real world. In a variety of scenarios Barry applies these techniques to different situations – from the everyday, such as turning the tables on car salesmen, to the extreme, in which Barry turns his attentions to espionage and the cold war. As he attempts mass hypnosis and programming of ordinary people to be sleeper agents and spies, he brings nail-biting tension to the next level. From Friday 31 March at 21:00 CAT.
