Sin tetas no hay paraíso (Without Tits There Is No Paradise) is a Colombian television series, produced and aired by Caracol TV. The show is based on the best-selling novel of the same name written by Gustavo Bolivar.
The story is based on a young girl, Catalina, who lives in Pereira and becomes obsessed with getting breast implants in order to overcome poverty. Catalina decides to become a "prepago" (prepaid), a prostitute who has sex with drug traffickers in exchange for gifts, money and social status.
The complete, uncut series was released on DVD in the United States under the title Sin Pechos No Hay Paraíso on October 13, 2009 by DistriMax Inc.; the five-disc set includes English subtitles.
Telemundo aired this series on Monday February 8, 2010 with English captions on CC3. When it premiered, the word "Tetas" was censored out and replaced with an image of a bra in between the first T and the final S because its English translation "tits" was censored from broadcast television by the FCC. This show lasted for about one month as there have only been 23 episodes produced.
Catalina (María Adelaida Puerta) is a young, beautiful girl living in extreme poverty with her brother, Byron (Andrés Toro) and her mother, Hilda (Linda Lucía Callejas), in Pereira, Colombia. Catalina becomes obsessed with getting breast implants in order to escape poverty and gain social status and money. She abandons her boyfriend, Albeiro (Nicolas Rincón) and, guided by her best friend, Yésica (Sandra Beltrán), a ruthless pimp who has also involved into this business Catalina's other friends, Ximena, Paola and Vanesa, aims to reach drug traffickers who pay for sexual services.
As the story progresses, Catalina becomes obsessed with gaining more and more money. She even puts her life, Yésica's life and her mother's life in jeopardy by threatening a prominent drug dealer, Titi (Marlon Moreno) that she would snitch him. Eventually Catalina marries Marcial Barrera (Fabio Restrepo), another drug trafficker and starts a life full of luxury, corruption, bribing and killings. Her brother Byron has strayed as well, having become a hitman. Meanwhile, her former boyfriend Albeiro and her mother Hilda, apparently the only characters in the story that keep their integrity up to the end, start a relationship behind her back. Catalina has lost her integrity entirely by treating otherwise atrocious actions (paid murders, blackmailing, bribing) as casual events needed to gain status and money.
