Onza Distribution’s Cacao follows a young girl from a Portuguese family who makes chocolates on a cocoa farm in Brazil.

Her dream to go abroad and become a pastry chef seems out of reach, but everything changes when her real father is revealed. “Our goal is to increase sales for our best-selling telenovela Cacao, as well as for the rest of our telenovela catalog,” says Béatrice Nouh, head of sales.

The comedy Traffic Jam, which has second and third seasons in development, is also on offer. “The show brilliantly explores a wide range of topics, highlighting how, on the road, we are all equal,” notes Nouh. “We want to promote Traffic Jam for adaptations in other territories.”

In Flowers Over the Inferno, criminologist Teresa Battaglia leads a team in the investigation of unsolved crimes while dealing with the first signs of Alzheimer’s disease, intensifying her personal conflicts.
