The new Telenovela Lotta in Love is a humorous love story (producer: Rat Pack). Young Lotta works in a laundry, but also looks stunningly similar to pop star Alex and is promptly hired as her double. The glitzy surface of the music world proves deceptive, and complete chaos breaks out when Lotta falls for Alexs boyfriend. Following on the major success of Thats Life, Lotta in Love is the second telenovela to be broadcast by a German private TV station. The market has high expectations.
