Viudas e hijos del Rock and Roll (Spanish: Widow and sons of Rock and Roll) is a 2014 Argentine telenovela, starred by Damián De Santo and Paola Barrientos. It includes several references to the Argentine Rock of the 1990s.
The show ended in May 13, 2015.
Diego Lamas and Miranda Betini were two rockers who met in Villa Gesell in 1992. Miranda was the daughter of Roby, a famous radio host, but concealed that information from Diego. They had a brief romance, and arranged to reunite in their native Buenos Aires, next to the Obelisco, the next month. Sandra, Miranda's best friend, started a romance with Roby, so she rejected them both. Diego had a car accident and could not meet Miranda at the agreed time, so she broke with him and with the whole rock and roll lifestyle.
The timeskip jumps to the modern day, Miranda is married to Segundo, and Diego is about to get married to Susana. Roby dies, and Diego briefly sees Miranda at his funeral, which was broadcast on TV, and is reunited with her. Miranda and Sandra met Vera as well, another daughter of Roby, who was born out of wedlock. As widow and daughters of Roby, Sandra, Miranda and Vera share each a fourth part of the shares of the radio, alongside Roby's assistant, Pipo. Vera convinces the others to give a radio program to Diego and his friend Rama.
Diego rejects Susana in their wedding and slowly starts a romance with Miranda. Both of their mothers (Titi and Gabriela, respectively) became friends and try to influence them to pursuit it. Segundo is a closeted gay, who develops a crush on his petisero Tony. Miranda and Segundo break up in good terms, and she also helps him to discover that his true mother is María Esther, a former maid of the Arostegui raped by Emilio. Sandra eventually amends her relation with Miranda, and gets pregnant from Rama. Rama, however, stays with Vera. With the exception of Miranda and Segundo, who had their own successful jobs, the Arostegui lost all their money and their mansion, and must move to a small apartment. The last episode featured the gay wedding of Segundo and Tony.
The filming started on May 2014.
Viudas e hijos del Rock and Roll is the first work of Paola Barrientos as a lead actress in television. She had a long career in theater plays, and her character in Graduados got a lot of praise. Still, she clarified that both characters are different: her character in Graduados was formal, and her character in "Viudas..." is a rebel rocker. She accepted to work in the telenovela because she had a good relation with the other actors of the cast.
