Without Breasts There Is No Paradise was the working title of an NBC drama series produced by Universal Media Studios which was to be adapted from a 2006 Colombian telenovela called Sin tetas no hay paraíso.
However NBC did produce a Spanish language remake called Sin senos no hay paraíso for its Hispanic-American audience.
The show[1] was set to revolve around the adventures of a young prostitute, who seeks massive breast implants to attract a rich cocaine smuggler.
[5] She lives in a poor neighborhood with her single mother, Doña Hilda and brother, Bayron, who is a "hitman" and gets paid for killing people on a motorcycle.
Although, all the drug traffickers are all admired by Catalina's beauty, her breasts are not big enough to attract a wealthy pusher whom she can seduce into making her a pampered paramour.
During Catalina's pursuit to "paradise", she is raped, gets an abortion, receives a bad surgery and gets a terrible allergic reaction from it and dives into the sex trade.
"[6] Gustavo Bolivar's heroine is a "pre-paid girl", which means she sells her services around-the-clock for a set period, hoping to make extra money.
[10][full citation needed] NBC would air the program in a style structured like that of the adapted Ugly Betty, which was also produced under Silverman's Reveille Productions.
In early 2006, it commissioned an English version of El Cuerpo del Deseo (Body of Desire), which was a hit on sister network Telemundo.
That same year, it signed a deal with a two-year contract with the Los Angeles production company Galán Entertainment to adapt Deseo and other Spanish serials for use on NBC, Bravo and USA Network.
