Chiquititas (literally translated as "Little Girls", known in English as Tiny Angels) is a children's musical Argentine soap opera, created and produced by Cris Morena.

The story explores their experiences and coming-of-age dramas such as discovering first love, deceptions, sadness, loneliness, and friendship, as they form a family together.

Erestina is replaced by Matilde, a smart and uncanny woman who discovers the secret about Mili and reveals it to Carmen, who lands in the hospital.

Cinthia and Laura are adopted and new interns, such as Tamara and Mecha, increase the family inside the Rincón de Luz manor.

Carmen manages to close down the house and separate the group administered by Belén, but she and the kids receive help from the mysterious Pedro Vega, who donates his old mansion to them.

Alongside Facundo, Piojo, and Tommy, Belén and the chiquititas find the huge, gorgeous manor at the corner of the Pasaje del Sauce.

They're astonished by the attractive facade, but inside is a creepy place full of traps and secret passages; it's inhabited by a mysterious woman named Elena and her granddaughter Lucia.

The kids must also interact with new neighbors, starting feuds, making friends, and discovering first love: Jimena falls for Matías, and Mosca develops a troubled relationship with Delfina, the spoiled girl next door.

However, their relationship as a group starts to be torn apart by Facundo's ex-fiancé Andrea and the unscrupulous Alejo Méndez Ayala, who wants his daughter Sol back.

At the Mothers Day, she receives a gift made by the grateful orphans and reunites them to tell the story behind the creation of the Rincón De Luz institution, revealing that Mili is the main reason for it.

All the orphans' attempts to save Mili go wrong, but Carmen's final plan fails when Gabriela herself discovers the desperate captive girl.

Lost in the forest, she used her memories and clues from the other kids to survive (such as creating a sundial), and well as Belén's messages about keeping faith and hope.

Somehow, she received the Book of Life written by Belén, and from her messages Maria believes that she and her friends will find a place to live altogether, just like the Rincón de Luz manor.

The barn is located nearby a mansion which belongs to Joaquín's son Juan Maza, where he lives with his seven children (Mariano, Ines, Javier, the twins Luisana and Titán, Juanita and Agustín).

She sends Bautista and Santiago to the Hogar de las Sombras, a horrible child prison, soon before Ana and Juan's wedding.

As the kids flee from their prison, Maria has a vision of Ana and Juan in the skies, and realises that is the right moment to find the Rincón de Luz manor, their last chance to have a family again.

Ana and Juan died in a plane crash, Pía burned down the granary and the children escaped from the Hogar de las Sombras.

María decides it is the perfect time to find the original Rincón de Luz described in her Book of Life, which she faithfully keeps.

Camila insists the group is invading a private property (which in fact they are doing), but the Magic Window in the attic reveals that they actually found the Rincón de Luz manor.

The orphans glare as a spiritual Belén appears, welcoming them home and stating that, even after all the sorrow the children have been through, they shall not stop dreaming and keeping their faith.

A young and brave woman named Luz arrives in the manor, after she runs away from her abusive and very violent boss and Maria immediately recognizes her as their "mother", because of Camila's jealousy.

Mili comes back following her memories of her life in the manor, alongside her friends Jime, Georgi, Guille, Mosca and everybody else, and foremost, following Belén's lessons.

Aspiring their house, Lidia tries to send the kids back to the Hogar de las Sombras and ties up Ramiro and Mili to chairs after she discovers her true intentions.

[10] Although having different roles, some young actors from previous seasons remained (such as Guillermo Santa Cruz and Camila Bordonaba), which initially caused confusion on the audience.

They were all cast in Rebelde Way, an Argentine hit television series also created and produced by Morena, in which they portrayed its protagonists and members of the band Erreway.

Annual stage presentations at the Gran Rex theatre,[12][13] written and directed by Cris Morena[14] complemented the series from the second year onwards, featuring the whole cast of each season.

[16] An incident occurred in the Season Five performances (Chiquititas 1999), in which a fire generated by short circuit destroyed part of the scenario, specifically the thematic giant tree.

[19] Despite receiving bad reviews, the series became a hit among the young audience, and spawned 150 licensed products[18][20] and a monthly magazine, La Revista de Chiquititas.

However, it was extremely successful in Israel and the complete cast of the show visited Tel Aviv for a series of concerts at Nokia Arena.

In 2001, when leaving Telefe, Cris Morena made it clear that, despite legal rights, she would not stop producing Chiquititas, stating that it was "more than a title".
