Winner Takes All. Maybe the biggest trend at this year’s Mipcom, judged by titles on show and announcements – think RTL/Beta’s “Sisi,” the Alliance’s “Around the World in 80 Days” or VIS’ just-announced “Bosé” – was the move into big high-end event series based on big big IP.
Reaping an upbeat critical reception, the series went on to win a 2016 Intl. Emmy for best telenovela – and be nominated for a second, for Grazi Massafera as best actress. Outside Brazil, it also sold to 75 countries, proving an audience leader in Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Uruguay, Puerto Rico and Portugal.
So far, “Hidden Truths” might seem to prime the melodrama, the sense of love as all-consuming passion, and the class-crossing relationships which are the evergreen staples of telenovelas. But “Hidden Truths” delivered such elements in a fast-paced format of just 60 episodes whose love scenes were notable for their sexual candor. And it ends in tragedy when Carolina surprises Alex and Angel in bed and takes her own life. Angel goes with Alex on a yacht trip and kills him.
Created again by Walcyr Carrasco , “Hidden Truths II” catches Angel bankrupt, widowed and with child to support. She turns once more to prostitution, as Giovanna comes back from Paris willing to do anything to prove that Angel killed her father, Alex, and accusing Angel of a second murder. Hired to prove Angel’s guilt, Cristiano, a private detective, soon falls for her charms. Meanwhile, another ingenue arrives at the modeling agency, to be become embroiled in darker world.
