Pasionaria is a Venezuelan telenovela written by Vivel Nouel and produced by Venevisión in 1990.

Barbara Santana is a lively and enthusiastic girl, but she suffers from a dark secret that keeps her up at night and gives her no peace; seven years ago, she was the victim of rape and had a child she never saw, as her aunt made her believe the child died while she actually took her to an orphanage.

When Barbara comes into his life, he is stirred with feelings beyond his control and tries to fight the passion to which he is very attracted.

Although Barbara knows he is married, she pursues him and subdues him into an extramarital affair that breaks all the rules.

Although Barbara is open, independent and carefree, Jesús Alberto is traditional, methodical and extremely chauvinistic, thereby leading to a clash in their personalities.
