Cara Sucia (telenovela) and Culture of the Czech Republic

Produced by Venevisión and filmed in 1992, Cara Sucia presents the story of Miguel Angel Gonzalez (played by Guillermo Dávila) and Estrellita Montenegro (played by Sonya Smith, a Venezuelan-American actress, in the role that brought her to prominence).

Filled with gaps and loopholes in the story (like most soap operas), Cara Sucia nevertheless still managed to keep its viewers on the edge of their seats most of the show's duration.

The show was also dubbed into English, Russian, Mongolian, and Filipino (Tagalog) in the Philippines.

Plot summary

Miguel Angel is a member of one of Caracas' richest families, while Estrellita is a poor but hard-working beautiful girl who sells newspapers in a corner every day to earn a living. When they met, it was love at first sight, and, as the story develops, they begin a beautiful romance that makes them begin to date and later get married.

However, not everything is pink for the young couple, and they have to survive many other things, such as: opposition by Miguel Angel 's parents, Horacio (Humberto Garcia) and Rebecca (Chony Fuentes) Horacio's declining mental health that makes him become more and more dangerous the obsessive passion that evil Santa Ortigosa (Miguel Angel 's ex, played by Gigi Zancheta) feels for Miguel Angel a partnership that Horacio creates with two drug dealers who end up murdered by him when he finds out they are using him the revelation that Estrellita's mother was killed by a younger Horacio because she left him for the man who would become Estrellita's father the kidnapping by Horacio of Miguel Angel and Estrellita's boy twins once Miguel Angel and Estrellita had married and begun a family.

Miguel Angel's mom, Rebecca, however, begins to relent on her opposition towards Miguel Angel and Estrellitas love once she realizes she was wrong about Estrellita (Rebecca thought at first that Estrellita was a gold digger), but it was her friend and Miguel Angel's ex, Santa who was the actual gold digger and that her husband wasn't the man he pretended to be.

Horacio who during the time had kidnapped the two twin baby boys grew to love them like his own sons, shoots himself after a police stand-off where the babies are wrestled away from him, while Santa dies when her car is driven off a cliff. Miguel Angel and Estrellita recover their babies and finally achieve the love and happiness they had hoped for, and Rebecca accepts her daughter-in-law and twin grandsons as new members of her family.

Festivities and traditions

Czech people celebrate Christmas every year, beginning with a dinner on December 24. The tables for this dinner can only be set for an even number of guests, because an odd number will bring bad luck. All of the lights in the house must be turned off until the first star comes out, and when it does, the dinner may commence. The first person to leave the table when the meal is finished will be the first person to die that year - this is why everyone must stand up at the same time.

Easter, or "Velikonoce" (meaning "great nights"), is a very cheerful and lighthearted holiday in the Czech Republic. Red is a very commonly worn color during this time, because it symbolizes joy, health, happiness, and new life that comes with spring. Families decorate Easter eggs elaborately together. Another Easter tradition is the whipping of other's legs with the pomlázka, or willow twigs. Willow twigs are braided and painted with bright colours and then are used by young boys to beat the back of girls' legs. This long-standing tradition is thought to bring health and youth to young girls.
