Nuevo Comienzo

Nuevo Comienzo (lit: New Start) is a Liberadosan drama television series and telenovela produced in 1670. The series is created by Alfredo Velarde, and airs on LibUno.

The series features an ensemble cast of both well-known foreign actors, such as Greta Orlando, and local Liberadosan actors. The series was very well received in Los Liberados, where it is regarded as part of the national identity. Critics have often described as an allegory of the Liberadosan struggle for independence.

Synopsis

The series revolves around two families: the Morales and the de Leon. The Morales are lower-class immigrants from San Pedro, whereas the de Leon family is part of the small, but wealthy, Martino elite. Throughout the series, the families become more and more intertwined. The series finale, coinciding with the Liberadosan independence, culminates in a marriage between the heir of the de Leon family, Jorge de Leon, and the eldest daughter of the Morales', Valencia.
