Plot
The story takes place among the sugar cane fields of the state of Veracruz, where the slander and spite caused by a lie forever mark the lives of two families and four friends who met being children: Julia (Daniela Castro), Pablo (Juan Soler), Juan de Dios (Francisco Gattorno) and Mireya (Patricia Navidad).
Cañaveral de pasiones is a telenovela that revolves around the life of Julia Santos, a noble and extremely beautiful girl, friend of Mireya and love of Pablo and Juan de Dios, who lives besieged by the resentment and bitterness that her own family has built around her.
Julia will have to fight against the ghosts that inhabit the mind of her father, Fausto (Leonardo Daniel); against the ill will of Dinora Faberman (Azela Robinson), her aunt, and against the calumnies that have been made up in town concerning her mother and herself.
Pablo, the son of Josefina Montero (Angélica Aragón), is Julia's love. Both represent the love that is born in the first years of life and that grows with the passage of time, becoming stronger and stronger. It is a love that must fight against the pressures that try to destroy it, using moral concepts, good customs and family honor as a banner.
After 15 years, Pablo returns to town, engaged to Gina (Marisol Santacruz), a superficial and opportunistic girl. The reunion with Julia causes a sudden change in Pablo's life, who, realizing his love for her, faces great obstacles, including his own mother, whom hatred has made loathe Julia and her family.
Cañaveral de pasiones is the story of four loves, of four passions that, with strength, courage, nobility and youth, will have to overcome adverse circumstances so that the shadows fade and their love grows, sweet and strong as cane.
