Trivia
"Teresa II" is a remake of:
1 version: telenovela "Teresa I"
2 version: telenovela "El Cuarto Mandamiento"
The Brazilian version of "Teresa" is telenovela "Teresa" (1965, TV. Tupi) with Georgia Comide and Walmor Chagas.
"The best telenovela of the year", TVyNovelas award, 1990.
In an atmosphere where familiy conflicts derived from poverty come up
on a daily basis, young, intelligent and beautiful Teresa struggles
desperately to escape the vulgar barrio humdrum she so suffocating, so
oppressive... She wants to break away from the misery that snatched her
only sister's life from her, because the wounds left by hunger have
never healed.... Sitting in her room in the "vecindad" (low-income
housing) she plans daring adventures in order to penetrate the world
she is so overwhelmed by: travel, jewels, clothing and power. She knows
she's beautiful and makes the most of her charms in order to get
whatever she sets out to. There's only one obstacle keeping her from
reaching her goal: she must dominate her feeling because the great love
of her life is as poor as she is. Love and greed are the two paths,
which one will Teresa take?
