This is the first TVN super production of the 90s, of many others that followed it under the command of Vicente Sabatini, the story is set in the 60s and is a remake of a Brazilian script, here Claudia Di Girolamo highlights in her role as a nun, also highlights the upstart Luz Arlegui played by the retired actress Jael Unger, but above all, the villain of the story stands out; Isabel Margarita played by Claudia Burr (role that to date has marked her the most), I also want to highlight the character of Carlota Meza (I think it is the best role of Silvia Piñeiro) the president of the committee for morals and good customs of the town, Coke Hevia as a child did excellent, he was like the Chilean Macauly Culkin, and made an excellent duo with Mario Montilles who played his grandfather. I think that the protagonists had little weight, it is a pleasure to always see Carolina Fadic, but I think that her story did not have an important development. I give it a 10 more than anything for nostalgia and for being the first of many super productions that would come later. The sixties music is a great plus of this production as well.

Most likely the year was just a choice to talk about the World Cup. This telenovela does a very good job at showing a conservative society, full of gossip and makes interesting points about religious life. However, everyone is rich - and rich people are already boring enough in real life, let alone in a production that had NO fun. Where was the fun? Sabatini's telenovelas are always, when all else fails, at least fun! They only took the glamour and the poise of the 60s but left behind the concept of personalities, with more than one of the female roles being more pin-ups come to life than actual characters with personalities and motivations. The Arleguis were the most interesting part about the whole story. Consuelo Holzapfel was totally miscast in an uptight snobbish role that does not allow her to shine as much as we deserve to see her shine. The love story between Jaime and Angélica was not well told either, and it's never clear when they start falling for each other and why (apparently just because her voice is too irresistible over the phone?), and when he finally confesses his love, the scene is not as dramatic and big as it should be - you're confessing your feelings to a nun! In the sixties! In a small conservative town!!! Overall, it's not necessarily bad, but it is too boring for a telenovela. Shoutout to the amazing Carolina Fadic for her amazing transformation into a 60s girl, it was remarkable.
