What happens

Chiquititas, also known as Chiquititas 1997 or Chiquititas Brasil is the Brazilian version of the Argentine soap opera Chiquititas. Produced and aired from 28 July 1997 to 19 January 2001 by SBT, in association with Telefe, the show starred Brazilian actresses Flávia Monteiro as Carolina "Carol" Correia, Fernanda Souza as Mili, and Débora Falabella, as Estrela, being the last two's careers debut. Based on the original version of same name created and produced by Cris Morena, the soap opera tells the story of a group of orphans that live in a manor, known as Raio de Luz, whose lives are touched and changed by Carol. Their experiences such as discovering first love, deceptions, loneliness and friendship, as well as adventures in fantasy, are depicted throughout the series. The narrative is enhanced by musical themes and videos. The Brazilian soap opera ran for five seasons until SBT's contract with Telefe ended in 2001. On 19 September 2012, SBT announced a new version of Chiquititas, which premiered on 15 July 2013, following the good ratings obtained by the 2012 remake of Carrusel. Unlike Chiquititas Brasil, the new Chiquititas production is completely made in Brazil, and is the first without involvement of Cris Morena. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
