Pituca sin lucas (Fancy Lady Without Money)[1] is a Chilean romantic comedy television show created by Rodrigo Bastidas and Elena Muñoz.[2] Commonly mistaken for a soap opera, the show is categorized as a telenovela, the difference lying in its projected end rather than an indefinite continuation.[3] The show was originally broadcast on the television network Mega[4] from October 13, 2014 until May 25, 2015. Starring Paola Volpato and Alvaro Rudolphy, and directed by Patricio Gonzalez, Pablo Aedo, Felipe Arratia, and Mauricio Lucero,[5] Pituca sin lucas was filmed by Chilefilms studios. It was considered the most watched Chilean telenovela since 2006,[6] reaching an average audience rating of 25.3 points[7] and over 50% of the total share of Chilean television.[8]

It was considered an unprecedented success for Mega in the genre of fiction (usually dominated by Canal 13 and TVN).[9] Pituca sin lucas is about a wealthy woman who, after being abandoned by her husband, must adjust to a new economic reality. She decides to live in a middle-class neighborhood where she finds love and emotional stability with a widower that works in a fish and seafood market.[10] The story is set between La Dehesa, one of the highest income neighboods[11] of the Santiago Metropolitan Region, and Maipú, a middle class[12] commune of the same region.

Of the several subplots that involve teenagers and antagonists throughout the show, the portrayal of “Lita” by actress Gabriela Hernandez was what caught the attention of television and internet audiences.[13] Her high-class vocabulary and her way with people gained considerable acclaim.[14] The soundtrack for the show is the song “Cuando nos volvamos a encontrar” (“When We Find Each Other Again”) by Colombian artist Carlos Vives, played during the opening sequence and final credits.[15]

History

The fall of Tichi Risopatrón has been brutal. Thunderous. Especially because this woman has never worked for anyone, nor is she a homemaker: does not know how to cook, has never used a microwave and lives isolated from what happens in the real world. But her new status as a working and courageous woman helps her to become a new Tichi, one she never even knew existed: a strong woman that is able to support her family and do the unimaginable to provide for her your daughters. In fact, she doesn’t even have problems moving from her super mansion in La Dehesa to a semi-detached house in a middle-class neighborhood.

Can Tichi adapt to her new status, learn to work and avoid falling for her new neighbor, who attracts her so passionately? Can they give in to this budding love they are feeling? They can try to avoid fate, but nothing will change the destiny of these two clandestine lovers.
