	Floricienta	comment	Floricienta is an Argentine kid-oriented telenovela created by Cris Morena (creator of other popular teen-oriented telenovela mainstays like Chiquititas, Rebelde Way, and Alma Pirata). The series concerns the heroine, Flor, working as a governess for the affluent Fritzenwalden family, but is in love with the eldest son and parental figure, Federico aka Fede. Unfortunately, his conniving godmother "Malala" schemes to marry him off to one of her daughters, and the witch might have a dark secret with Flor's past.The series title is a pun on the heroine's name, Florencia, and "Cenicienta" (the Spanish name for "Cinderella.") What does this have to do with Cinderella, you may ask? The dark secret about Flor's past is that the man she thinks is her father is actually her stepfather; her real father is Fede's godmother's dead husband... which makes her Flor's Wicked Stepmother and her daughters Flor's stepsisters... and the witches will stop at nothing to keep Flor's rightful estate (and "Fede," her prince and "his" fortune, for that matter) out of her hands. While Flor only learns the truth towards the end of the show, this is made an Open Secret to the audience in the first episode, to the point where the trailer for the Mexican remake explains this storyline before even getting into the nanny subplot, and references to this plot twist will go unmarked as spoilers.The series has been remade in several countries: in Portugal, Chile, and Brazil as Floribella. Originally, the name was changed since the "Cenicienta" pun would have been lost on Portugese-speakers, who call "Cinderella" by her English name; the Chilean remake was originally going to be called "Floricienta" but went with the Portugese name after it turned out the original was copyrighted. In Mexico, it was remade as Lola, érase una vez (meaning "Lola, Once Upon a Time"). It also had a brief run in the United States.An American remake is supposedly in the works by Disney, though with another "teenage-nanny" show on the schedule, Jessie, on their current line-up, this seems unlikely (Of course, there is speculation that Jessie originally WAS meant to be a remake of this show). Infamously, Flor's actress produced another similar show, Nini, about another Magical Nanny (except the shtick here is that she disguises herself as a man to avoid the scheming fiancee); the second show was heavily criticized, and the similarities were so many, to the point that Cris Morena successfully sued for plagiarism.The series provides examples of:
