Sin tetas no hay paraíso
In 2006, Caracol acquired the rights to produce the novel Sin tetas no hay paraíso by Colombian screenwriter and novelist Gustavo Bolívar as a television series of the same name. María Adelaida Puerta tried out for the main character of the novel, Catalina. Initially, she was denied the role, with the reasoning that she lacked the necessary qualities. But, when she was going to sign onto another project with RCN, they called her via Caracol and gave her the role.[3]
Catalina is an impoverished 15-year-old girl that is seeks to attenuate her poverty by selling her body. She tells Yésica (Sandra Beltrán) of her desire to become a 'prepaid girl', a young girl or woman who offers sexual favors to drug traffickers in exchange for large amounts of money and gifts. But, due to her small bust, the traffickers reject her. This motivates her to pursue getting the money for a breast implant operation as her main goal in life. She makes a number of mistakes that lead to disappointment, loss of love, dignity, self-esteem, and eventually, life.[citation needed]
