telenovela nf

TV soap opera

TELENOVELA

Telenovelas are TV soap operas, mainly originating in Mexico and Colombia, which are hugely popular in Spanish-speaking countries, and are even exported as far afield as Russia and Eastern Europe. They have their roots in the “radionovela”, which first developed in Cuba in the 1930s. Their stories can run for hundreds of episodes, eventually leading to a climactic ending. Some have historical settings, and while a few have dealt with topical controversies, many are far removed from the everyday life of most viewers, and typically depict an upper-class family stricken by fate, tragedy or passion.
