Sucupira is a Chilean telenovela produced and broadcast by Televisión Nacional de Chile from March 11 to August 9, 1996, starring Héctor Noguera, Delfina Guzmán, Francisco Reyes, Ángela Contreras and Álvaro Rudolphy. It is based on the 1973 Brazilian telenovela O Bem-Amado produced by Rede Globo.[1] As with other installments during the so-called "golden age of TVN", the production featured an extensive cast, a greater focus on comedy, and an exotic location (the fictional seaside town of Sucupira, shot in Papudo and Zapallar)

Plot summary

edit

The long-serving mayor of a sleepy fishing town is eager to inaugurate his latest campaign promise, a cemetery, but his plans are constantly thwarted by the absence of deaths in the community. The central love triangle is formed by the mayor's free-spirited daughter as she chooses between the town's doctor and the local reporter, both bitter adversaries of her father. The various antics of the town's colorful denizens occupy much of the plot.
