Rincón de Luz (orphanage)

Rincón de Luz is a fictional orphanage and the primary setting for the first four, and the last two seasons of the Argentine television series Chiquititas.

Rincón de Luz (literally "Corner Of Light") is also the title of a Chiquititas spin-off series that shares a similar plot, created by Cris Morena.

The original Rincón de Luz orphanage was idealized by Ramiro Morán, in order to hide his new born granddaughter, whose mother, Gabriela, was too young and had the baby with a humble man.

Through Ramiro, Ginette then replaced Emilia as the orphanage's administratrix, what prevented Belén to accept Martín's proposal to occupy the position.

After Carmen managed to own the house, Belén and the orphans were forced to leave their home, until a mysterious man, Pedro Vega, donated them a new one.

Years after Belén and her chiquititas storyline ended, the Book of Life, in which she had written their story, was somehow found by Maria, a girl who lived in the streets with some other children.

An adorable woman called Ana arrived from the skies in a ballon, and gradually assumed Belén's role in the life of the granary's orphans.

She fell in love with Juan Maza, a widowed man who lived nearby the granary in his mansion, with his seven children, and Ana changed his life as well.

She managed to send the orphans (alongside some of Juan's children, as well as her own daughter Tali) to a household where kids where treated as slaves, the Shadow orphanage.

After escaping from the Shadow house, the children discovered that Ana and Juan died in an airplane crash, and that now they were left orphans, and homeless.

Maria insistently kept the Book of Life, believing that to be the right moment to find the original Rincón de Luz described in the story.

He hid himself in the manor's hidden places, lurking the children and a newcomer young woman named Luz, but was later discovered by Juanita.

Due to the villainous acts of Lidia (a unscrupulous woman who assumed the house's administration in Luz and Rafael's absence), the manor was knocked down, leaving the children in desperation.
