ATF Spotlight: Caracol Internacional

SINGAPORE: Based on the book The Discreet Hero by the Nobel Prize winner Mario Vargas Llosa, the telenovela Against our Destiny is among the highlights of Caracol Internacional’s ATF slate.

The story centers on two sisters with different personalities who reunite after nearly 20 years. The Girl, based on real events, had a strong showing in Colombia in prime time and Caracol Internacional believes it will pique Asian buyers’ interests as well.

The company is also presenting the format On Another Level, which features a music competition at its core. In the series, professional singers will have to prove their talents by performing a song in the genre of their expertise.

“We have high expectations for this market, as we have a diversified, attractive and competitive portfolio that will fulfill our clients’ demands,” says Maria Estrella, a sales executive for Asia at the company. She adds: “Our titles are always produced with an international audience in mind.”
