What is Bia About?
The story of Bia follows a 16-year-old girl named Beatriz "Bía" Urquiza. Bía loves to draw and create. When she was younger, she loved making music with her older sister, Helena. Helena was a singer in a band called MoonDust. Her boyfriend, Víctor, and his younger brother, Lucas Gutiérrez, were also in the band.
One day, the band was in a car accident. Sadly, Lucas and Helena were thought to have died. Only Víctor survived, but he was badly hurt and now uses a wheelchair. Ten years later, Bía still misses her sister very much. Both the Urquiza and Gutiérrez families are still sad about what happened. The Gutiérrez family blames Helena for the accident, which causes a lot of tension between the two families.
Things get even more complicated when Bía falls in love with Manuel. Manuel is the cousin of Víctor and Alex Gutiérrez. Their families are not happy about Bía and Manuel being together. Despite this, Bía and Manuel try their best to make their relationship work. Alex, Manuel's cousin, tries to cause trouble for them.
Bía and Manuel find support from their friends. Víctor also helps them, as he gets along well with Manuel. A mysterious young woman named Ana appears at a place called Residence Kunst. It turns out she has a secret connection to the past accident. Soon, everyone discovers that the Gutiérrez family has many secrets and hidden truths.
The show explores many questions: Can Bía and Manuel overcome all the problems? Who is Ana really? Will Manuel find out the truth about his family? What secrets are Víctor and Antonio hiding about the accident? Can Bía continue her sister's musical journey? And will the story have a happy ending?
