Deceptions
Created by Inés Rodena
A telenovela-inflected soap opera built on mistaken identity and romantic entanglement, where deception and desire drive the plot across a single sustained season.
The show's premise revolves around a pair of twin sisters who were separated when they were young, and as adults the younger sister is forced to act as a "replacement" for her wealthy twin who wants to temporarily leave her husband and his family to enjoy a life of luxury with multiple lovers.
