TV Azteca Presents Pasion Morena

MEXICO CITY: The new telenovela Pasion Morena leads off TV Azteca’s slate for the L.A. Screenings.

The story follows Morena, a young fashion designer who is betrayed by her fiancé and finds solace on a paradise island, where she meets Leo. They form a strong bond, but the time comes when she must return home, not knowing if or when she will see Leo again. What she doesn’t know is that their lives will soon intersect under mysterious circumstances.

Also in the TV Azteca catalogue is Demente, a drama series looking at the darker side of humans. Based on true stories, the series spotlights crimes carried out by psychopaths and killers who seem like your average neighbor next door. The telenovela Forever Yours (Eternamente Tuya) is the story of two girls, Antonia and Sara, who live very different lives. One is poor and rebellious, while the other is privileged yet lonely. They have nothing in common, but fate joins them together, until they fall in love with the same man. Further novelas on offer include Love Me Again (Vuelveme a Querer), the story of a young equestrian champ who falls for a powerful businessman. Their love is complicated by a dark secret that is lurking in the shadows.

Ordinary Miracles (Cada Quien su Santo) is a family-oriented drama. Each episode tells a fictional story of someone who entrusts themselves to their patron saint and seeks help, guidance and protection. A Marriage of Convenience (Contrato de Amor) follows a woman, Ana Cristina, who is forced into getting engaged to a multimillionaire by her overly ambitious family. When he discovers he is being used, he pretends to be poor and Ana Cristina’s family no longer wants them to be together. However, they’ve already fallen in love now.

Rounding out the slate is the fantasy game show Asgaard. The show tests the strength and stamina of its contestants, who are trying to win silver coins in a fantasy world filled with fairies, dwarfs and special creatures.
