Vivir un poco (English title: To Live a Little) is a Mexican telenovela which was produced and broadcast by Televisa in 1985. [1] The story was a remake of the very popular Chilean telenovela La Madrastra from 1981. Vivir un poco tells the story of the quest of Andrea to find justice and her long-lost children, but she must face the lies and intrigues of the past and the present. A story full of questions (Why? Who? How?) and the mystery of uncovering the identity of a murderer and discovering family secrets. The series stars Rogelio Guerra and Angélica Aragón.
When this telenovela aired, during commercial breaks, Televisa showed a 10-second mini-commercial where all the suspects to the murder, including Andrea herself, were shown one by one and a voice-over asked "¿Quién es el verdadero asesino? ¿Quién?" ("Who is the real muerderer? Who?").
In 1965 Andrea travels to Buenos Aires, Argentina, together with her husband, Gregorio, his 2 sisters and a group of family friends. During the trip, a young woman in their group, Martha, is murdered in her hotel room and Andrea is discovered at the crime scene holding the gun with which Martha was murdered. As all evidence initially points to Andrea as the murderer, she is tried and sentenced to prison for Martha's murder.
Her husband and friends believe she is guilty and abandon her in Argentina, returning to Mexico and vowing never to mention Andrea's name again. Gregorio decides to lie to his children when they grow up. He makes them adore the portrait of a woman that doesn't exist, thinking she is their dead mother. He does this in order to erase Andrea's memory from their lives once and for all, as he is convinced she will never return, finishing her days in the same prison where he has abandoned her.
