Sorelle

This Telenovela has all the trademarks of a RAI production! All the female actors wear wigs with long flowing manes of hair that they can toss and flick when they move their heads seductively. The kids are all angelic looking, but also with more wigs that are often much bigger than their heads. The youngest child in the series wears a wig that resembles the thatch cover for a small sized hut! As others have pointed out, the story is filled with tears! Everyone cries in almost every scene. There is excessive use of flashbacks, which become just a distraction. One can predict the moment the flashback is coming as the warning sign is dramatic music, then the actor stares into space, as if starting a movie reel. The backdrop for the story is the usual mountain village, filled with crumbling stone houses, that appear to be on the verge of collapsing.

The story could have been told in about 4 episodes, but just drags on endlessly as if to fill an allotted number of episodes. Because it is a second tier European series, Walter Presents, a streaming platform that specializes in rebroadcasting these, is just right for this.
