Abrázame muy fuerte (2000)

This is the greatest Telenovela in the past 25 years

The tale is one of hope and trials and tribulations. I will and can not go into details for there are so many chapters and so many twists and turns. The role of Federico Rivero by Cesar Evora is what really made Evora into a passionate actor, and he has proved time and again his ability to play such roles, either good or evil. Cristina Álvarez Rivas de Rivero, is the role that Victoria Ruffo played, with the fact that they show her life before modern times in the past, before we get to modern times was brilliantly done. That is over the fact that in order to know Areceli Arambula's character and Fernando Colunga's character, one must know that Cristina is Maria del Carmen's mother but events made her act as her Godmother until the truth is revealed at the end. Carmen Salinas was amazing in this tale as well as Nalia Norvind and Pablo Montero, in their supporting roles; with the tale being filmed in Tlacotalpan Veracruz Mexico and it showing the love and compassion in the community as the people unite against so many problems and evils that threaten their livleyhood. By the way Tlacotalpan is one of Veracruz's most legendary towns, and so many Telenovelas have been filmed there in recent years.
