Chiquititas (literally translated as "Little Girls", known in English as Tiny Angels) is a children's musical Argentine telenovela, created and produced by Cris Morena. It starred Morena's daughter Romina Yan, and Agustina Cherri.
The series focuses on a group of orphans living in a manor, known as Rincón de Luz. Their lives are gradually touched and changed by Belén, a sweet-hearted, dedicated young woman. The story explores their experiences and coming-of-age dramas such as discovering first love, deceptions, sadness, loneliness and friendship, as they form a family altogether. In the fifth season, the show was rebooted with a new setting, new characters and a new story. The series is complemented with musical themes and videos.
Chiquititas spawned two spin-offs, Rincón de Luz, which aired in 2003 on Canal 9 and a 2006 production, Chiquititas Sin Fin, which aired on Telefe.Sin Fin was created to celebrate the 11th anniversary of the series, and later had versions in Portugal and Romania. A game based on Sin Fin was also released for PS2 and Wii in 2009.
Chiquititas has been aired in 25 countries and adapted for Brazilian and Mexican audiences. The series originally ran between 1995 and 2001, the year the show's feature film Chiquititas: Rincón de Luz was released.
In its first two seasons, the series followed the typical telenovela format with more mature themes, which changed from the third season onwards.
Soon after Gabriela had a child, the baby was taken away from the young woman by her father, Ramiro Morán. Being a snobbish man, he did not accept the result of his daughter having a romance to one of the servants, so Gabriela was told her child was stillborn. The girl, named Mili, was sent to an orphanage created by Ramiro, the "Rincón de Luz". Mili grows up in the house alongside eight other little girls, actual orphans that are later upheld by in manor. The orphans are Georgi, Cinthia, Vero, Michelle, Romina, Laura and Maru. Spearheaded by Mili, the oldest among them, the seven chiquititas became a family altogether.
