Background
Floricienta is loosely copied from the story of Cinderella and also presents some comparisons to the film The Sound of Music. The plot revolves around Florencia (Flor), a poor but dreamer, rash, vivacious and happy Italian-Argentine girl whose life changes when she meets Federico Fritzenwalden, the son of a very rich German-Argentinian family whose parents died in an accident. Fede is the head of the family, he has 5 lovely younger siblings living with him in a big house. Fede has a bitter, cold, strict and lonely personality until he falls in love with Flor upon meeting her. But Fede has a girlfriend, Delfina (the witch), who wants Federico's money. Federico's brothers and his younger brothers hate Delfina. But when Flor comes to the Fritzenwaldens' residence, as the nanny, everybody loves her.
The show title " Floricienta" is a mix between Cenicienta (Cinderella in Spanish-speaking countries) and Flor (the main character's name). The show wasn't heavily-influenced by the original Cinderella story, besides the fact Fede is "Flor's Prince Charming" and the fact Floricienta trademark is her shoes .
In the end of the first season, the show gets a big twist.
Federico after realizing that his girlfriend Delfina was lying to him all the time leaves her at the church during their wedding and goes to Flor. Then after a while he dies in an accident, saving Maximo Calderon de la Olla who then gives his Body to Federico's soul. In the second season Flor falls in love with Maximo and they get married in the end. They also have 3 children and a very strong love that came from the part of Fede inside Max.
