Los tres García

Despite the rivalry among them, the García cousins—Luis Antonio, José Luis, and Luis Manuel—live in harmony, punctuated by the cane-smacks of their grandmother, Doña Luisa. But one day Lupita appears: a distant cousin who all three young men fall in love with. The situation gets even more complicated when the López brothers, responsible for the deaths of the García parents, burst onto the scene.
