Lalola was an Argentine
television
Comedy
show that aired from 28 August 2007 to 29 April 2008. It was broadcast by TV channel América 2. It starred Carla Peterson
and Luciano Castro as protagonists.
The show won nine Martín Fierro Awards
for 2007, and also the Gold Prize.
A pilot for an American version, entitled "Eva Adams", was filmed for the Fox network starring James Van Der Beek. It was envisioned as a dramedy, in the vein of how Yo soy Betty la fea was adapted for American audiences asUgly Betty
, but wasn't picked up for a regular series.
) is the director of the media company "High Five", editor of the famous magazine Don, and has many women around him. Romina (played by Marcela Kloosterboer
), who is in love with Lalo, decides to punish his lack of commitment to her. She hires a witch to cast a spell on him, which turns him into a very beautiful woman, as Romina wanted him to know what it is like for a woman who is being harassed.
Lalo (now played by Carla Peterson
) awakes as a woman, in a state of utter confusion. However, Lalo's friend Graciela ("Grace") Neira (played by Muriel Santa Ana) believes her story and helps her cope. Grace tells her not to give up and gets her women's clothing, which at first she refuses to wear. But Grace gets her dressed and sends her to work.
Nobody will believe that Ramiro has been magically transformed, so Ramiro assumes a new identity: Dolores "Lola" Padilla, cousin of Lalo. Lalo "had to make an urgent trip to Germany
because his father became ill", and has appointed Lola to take his place.
As time passes, very funny situations happen. Lola realizes Grace is her best friend, and experiences all the things that make women different from men: wearing high heels, putting on a bra, wearing skirts and thongs, menstruation
, and so on. Gradually, she notices some people who were with Lalo, including his best friend, Gaston (Rafael Ferro). Without realizing it, she starts to get closer to coworker Facundo (Luciano Castro) and falls in love.
In the episode of 28 September 2007, Reina Reech
joined the show in the role of Carola Aguirre, wife of Mr. Aguirre, the CEO of High Five. Carola is actually the owner of the company.
