## Plot

In the Name of Love is a traditional story that shows the values and customs of some provincial corner of the Mexican Republic in the current era. It is a story that delves into the intimacy of the daily lives of its characters, laying bare their emotions, their feelings, their motives and their reason for living.
In the Name of Love tells us the story of two sisters, Macarena (Victoria Ruffo) and Carlota (Leticia Calderón), who paid with pain, loneliness and resentment for having fallen in love with the same man, as well as the consequences of that love on the mature stage of their lives; and, at the same time, it tells the story of two girls, Paloma (Allisson Lozz) and Romina (Altaír Jarabo), whose childhood was marked by solidarity and empathy, forging a friendship that over time will have to overcome the obstacles typical of youth when, with the arrival of first love, jealousy, envy and rivalry also arrive.
Paloma is a girl who, after the tragic death of her parents, is forced to live in the house of her two spinster aunts, Macarena and Carlota. Macarena is affectionate, supportive and establishes a close relationship with her niece, while Carlota is repressive, authoritarian and it seems that she enjoys making Paloma's life miserable. A family secret that is decisive in Paloma's life is jealously guarded by her aunts. When it is discovered, everything will change for her.
Paloma believes she has found true love with Iñaki (Luis Hacha), with whom she makes marriage plans, but her aunt, Carlota, takes it upon herself to separate her from this love forever. Paloma believes that she will never be able to find love again because it was not meant for her, but the presence of Emiliano (Sebastián Zurita) changes her life. The problem is that not only is he the boyfriend of Romina, her best friend, but he is also a man hated by her aunt, Carlota, which makes love between them impossible. However, Emiliano will fight to be by her side... Will he make it?
