Under that peculiar premise, this week comes Silence pacta new Mexican Netflix series that promises to take revenge to another level. If you are a fan of revenge stories and classic Mexican melodramas, here we present everything you need to know about this intense project.
What is it about?
Silence pact tells us the story of Brenda, a young and successful influencer who did not face a exactly quiet childhood. Motivated by the abandonment she suffered as a child, the young woman decides to undertake a dangerous revenge and infiltrate the lives of four women. His goal of her? Find her mother who abandoned her at birth.
With locations in Veracruz and the Ex-convent of San José de Gracia, this series will delve into Brenda’s peculiar past and all the dark secrets that it entails. At the same time, love and friendship could get in the way of the imminent search for the truth.
Cast
After passing through projects such as Perfect strangers and Rampantthe young Camila Valero debuts as the protagonist giving life to Brenda. Her first starring role is a very complex one, and it allows her to address various emotions around the objective that the character has from the beginning. Although Mexican melodrama has accustomed the public to good and pristine protagonists, Brenda is a character that challenged her interpreter.
“It was hard for me to get the hang of it at first,” Valero mentioned to Cosmopolitan. “I insisted a lot on taking Brenda towards a more sensitive, more vulnerable side. I have a very strong character that I have learned to control and hide, I have become a softer person. With Brenda I had to bring out that strong character that perhaps I have even punished”.
Along with her we can find actors recognized for their television career, such as Adriana Louvier (The devil’s wife), Kika Edgar (The queen of the south), Marimar Vega (Dr. Lucia), Litzy (Lady Steel), Jose Manuel Rincon (where there was fire), Martin Barba (Supertitlán), Rodolfo Salas (Fake profile), Ruben Zamora (The simulators) and Chantal Andere (Distilling love).
Silence pact was created by José Vicente Spataro, also a writer of soap operas such as Dangerous relationships and Holy Devil. Gennys Pérez, Miguel Ferrari and Yutzil Martínez S. also participate in the scripts.
Why is it worth giving it a try?
In recent years, Netflix has promoted the production of Mexican melodramas, giving them the platform’s own touch. Unlike soap operas made on open television, Netflix productions are committed to more realistic stories, natural dialogues and no censorship in the situations experienced by the characters.
In the case of Silence pact, the story relies on a relatively classic melodrama to which touches of suspense are added. The past is an important part of the plot, and it is its consequences that are explored thanks to several characters. There are no good and bad characters, only victims of the decisions made. In interview for Chic MagazineAdriana Louvier talked about what we can expect from Silence pactand about the diverse cast that makes up the project.
“In each episode more things are discovered, so the plot captivates you and makes you think about how important the decisions we make when we are teenagers are. I think it is fortunate that, currently, there is no longer that division that used to exist to classify us (actors). I have worked with many actors who at the time did theater, and suddenly wanted to enter television or platforms, and vice versa, but it was not easy at all.”
When it premieres Silence pactthe new Netflix series?
The 18 chapters are available on the platform from October 11, 2023. Each one lasts approximately 40 minutes.
