This is a love story that gets a bizarre twist, a film from the most important Peruvian broadcaster, America TV.
This three-minute tale opens on a scene of the show, with one of its main characters, Beto, played by Peruvian famous actor Santiago Suarez, greeting his buddies outside of school. He becomes distracted however, when he sees someone in the distance—a woman named Elena, who, it turns out, happens to be on the other side of the TV screen.
The two lock eyes, and from then on become lost in each other’s presence. Elena, played by actress Dann Ben Haim, continues to watch the show, Beto continues to watch her back, and the two fall in love. With each new episode, the lovers grow closer and even enter each other’s worlds—as the show plays on her phone Elena turns her device outwards so Beto can get a glimpse of her life too.
One day, when Elena fails to show up, the story takes a dramatic turn, and you’ll have to keep watching to see if, and how, the two reunite.
The emotional reason why we go to TV every day, at the same time and on the same channel, is because of that close relationship that is generated between us and the endearing characters of the series.
This is an idea that lives at the exact crossroads of entertainment and pop culture in the country.
The spot’s backing track is a cover of ‘80s Peruvian pop hit “Fantasy,” rerecorded with singer Arianna Fernandez.
