Juan, José, Pedro, Gaspar, and Lucas Del Monte are the five lead characters of this 2008 Chilean telenovela series and are played by: Jorge Zalabeta, Francisco Pérez-Bannen, Cristián Arriagada, Matías Oviedo, and Andrés Reyes, respectively.
The five adopted brothers' easy-going life in the countryside changes abruptly after the death of their father, who leaves a portion of his land to Paula (played by María Elena Swett), his only biological child.
