Romano (Cesar Montano) is a simple farmer who accidentally finds himself amidst the power struggle of the white and black sorcerers. He has a loving wife named Elsa (Ara Mina), who will help Romano get through the situations they find themselves in.

Little does the couple know that the search of the sorcerers for the elusive Ilumina will intertwine the lives and loves of their own children – formerly conjoined twins Romana (Rhian Ramos) and Krisanta (Jackie Rice).

Despite their opposite personalities, the twin sisters still profess similarities as they like most of the same things. The twins’ relationship starts to falter, however, when Romana discovers she has a telekinesis power. This leaves the powerless Krisanta extremely envious, and that the only magical thing she has is a streak of veins on her cheek that becomes prominent when she gets angry or emotional.

Regardless of their differences, Romana loves her twin sister very much still. The real conflict between the two only arises when they meet Iñigo (Aljur Abrenica), a wealthy, free-spirited young man who has been longing for the attention of his father. He will be the love interest of both Romana and Krisanta.

Unknown to the twins, the mysterious Elvira (Jean Garcia) has been keeping tabs on them. She is the second wife of wealthy philanthropist Frederico (Christopher de Leon) who has been playing a part in the lives of both Romana and Krisanta – as financer of the operation that separated the conjoined twins, and as the father of Iñigo, the young man both sisters love. Elvira seeks the powerful Ilumina, and she believes that Romana and Krisanta would lead her to where the Book of Magic is hidden.

In her effort to get the Ilumina, will Elvira, whose dark past remains a secret, be able to entice Krisanta to join her? Will Romano be able to save his daughters from the hands of Elvira? Who will conquer the heart of Iñigo: will it be Krisanta or Romana? Are the formerly conjoined twins destined to be separated forever? And who will finally possess the powerful Ilumina?


Catch the enchanting new Kapuso primetime series, Ilumina, starting this Monday, August 2, on GMA Telebabad.
