[edit] Plot
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Chiquititas was the story of a group of girls and boys between the ages of eight and fourteen, who lived in an orphanage in Buenos Aires. The orphanage was run by a lovely woman Belén. Typical love and friendship stories developed among the children, while they tried to achieve their ultimate goal of finding their parents.
[edit] Franchise
The show's success quickly inspired the creation of Chiquititas apparel, a magazine, and several soundtrack albums. The magazine was translated into Hebrew and, in 2002, three members of the cast travelled to Israel, where the show enjoyed high ratings. In 2001, a movie based on the show was released, called Chiquititas: Rincón de luz (Corner of Light). A Brazilian version of the show was also filmed.
