Caracol Internacional’s 60-episode series Bolívar brings to life the story of the heroic military and political leader.

Paloma García, the company’s sales executive for Europe and Africa, calls it “the most ambitious production ever done by Caracol.” The telenovela The Queen of Flow is set against the backdrop of the musical genre reggaeton. It tells the tale of Yeimy Montoya, a talented young woman who serves an unjust prison sentence. Her only wish is to take revenge against those who killed her dreams and her family.

There is also a second season of The Mafia Dolls on offer. Season two picks up eight years later in the lives of the female characters. García says that the company is looking to raise the visibility in CEE of Colombian productions that “transcend the classic telenovelas.” García adds, “Caracol is producing high-profile stories with ambitious and creative plots.”
