''Le cœur a ses raisons'' is a French language Québécois téléroman which heavily parodies American soap operas, often involving great exaggeration to ridiculous proportions. Its English title would literally be ''The Heart Has Its Reasons'', but the distributor has chosen to translate it by ''Sins of Love''.〔http://www.distraction.com/product.asp?nav_id=846&lang_id=E〕 The title comes from Blaise Pascal, a 17th-century French author, who said, « Le cœur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point » ("The Heart Has Its Reasons that reason does not know"). It was written by author Marc Brunet and first appeared on television screens in February 2005 on the TVA television network. The program was first shown in September 2001 as short segments during the show ''Le Grand Blond avec un show sournois'', and became very popular, thus making way for a full television series. There were 17 short episodes preceding the first series. The program airs internationally on TV5MONDE.〔http://www.tv5.org/cms/chaine-francophone/programmes/p-80-s1-z176-lg0-LE-COEUR-A-SES-RAISONS.htm?prg_id=177826&〕 A Polish version of the show, entitled ''Grzeszni i bogaci'' (''The Sinful and the Rich''), premiered on October 25, 2009 on TVN television network. == Synopsis == Doug Montgomery, beauty products tycoon, is discovered dead in his Saint-Andrews manor. His favorite son Brett, who gave up the running of the family company to pursue a career in gynecology is opposed to his twin brother Brad gaining complete control of the company. Criquette, fiancée of Brett is then the victim of an attempted murder, suffering a gunshot wound to the chest. Emerge Ashley, her previously unknown twin sister and Peter, a rebellious police officer with rather unorthodox methods. It is by taking on the identity of her twin sister at Doug's funeral that Ashley tries to discover the identity of Criquette's assailant. The reading of Doug's will ignites family rivalries, leaving the company in a precarious position. It is then discovered that Brad is married to Becky Walters, the president of a similar company and that they will have a black baby, Chris, despite Brad's sterility. On April 28, 2005 the town of Saint-Andrews is hit by an enormous earthquake. It is not until the second series commences on 30 January 2006 that we learn who perished in and who survived the earthquake. Saint-Andrews then welcomes the arrival of Brenda Montgomery, the triplet sister of Brad and Brett. The viewer learns of the survival of Becky and Brett, who was buried alive by his brother Brad, who pretends to have lost his arms to claim a large compensation payout from the insurance company. Brenda takes possession of ''Montgomery International'' but is blown up during the Christmas special, which was shown in April 2006, setting the manor on fire, where the majority of the cast are stuck. Who will survive the fire? Will Brenda return in another form? How will Criquette's baby be? Will Peter reveal the Montgomery curse? Will a relationship blossom between Brad and Drucilla? Is Hook's botox flammable? 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Le cœur a ses raisons」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
