Cúmplices de um Resgate (lit. Accomplices to a Rescue) is a Brazilian teen telenovela created by Rosy Ocampo and written by Íris Abravanel, originally broadcast on SBT since August 3, 2015. It is a Brazilian remake of the Mexican telenovela Cómplices al rescate produced by Televisa in 2002.
The decision to display a remake of some children's work due to the objective of maintaining the same repercussion obtained by predecessors, Carrossel and Chiquititas. The script development and testing for the cast took place in the second half of 2014 and filming began in March 23, 2015.
In August 2014, the call was initiated for the cast and testing began in September. Larissa Manoela, already starring Patrulha Salvadora at the time, was called to play the twin protagonists without need to do the tests. The cast was announced in January 2015, when there was an improvement workshop for the characters, and filming began on March 23. Some scenes and music videos were filmed in 4K resolution, technology hitherto unheard of in the SBT's dramaturgy.
Supposedly, Mexican sites said Gabriela Spanic and SBT were making an agreement so she could take a part in the telenovela, but the network has denied such things. In late June, an accident suffered by Larissa Manoela, who plays the protagonists pulled her away temporarily from filming and delayed the program's debut date. The actress fell from a horse in Atibaia during filming and had to stay a few weeks off.
On November 10, 2015, SBT announced the departure of actress Duda Wendling, who played Doris, because her mother didn't allow the renewal of her contract. Actress Sophia Valverde, who played Maria in Chiquititas, replaced her.
Two twin sisters who were separated after birth, are reunited after twelve years. Manuela (Larissa Manoela), one of the twins, is sweet, gentle, very talented for music and has a lovely voice. She lives a happy life in Vila dos Sonhos (Village of Dreams), where she lives with her grandmother Nina (Mira Haar), her aunt Helena (Thays Gorga) and her mother Rebecca (Juliana Baroni), who loves and care for her daughter as she never met her father. Rebecca is the biological mother of the two girls, but she never knew she had twins. Manuela is very beloved in the village, and is a member of a band called Manuela e Seus Amigos (Manuela & Her Friends). Other members are her aunt Helena, Pedro (Elam Lima), Mateus (Lipe Volpato) and his younger sister Doris (Sophia Valverde), Teo (Fhelipe Gomes), a blind yet smart boy. They also have Manteiguinha, Teo's guide dog, Mateus and Doris' mouse, Tuntum. The two animals "talk" to each other, accompanied by the children of the village.
