What Happens in the Story
Season 1: Franky's Secret Life
The story begins with Sofia Andrade, a brilliant scientist who creates robots. She is married to Wilson Andrade, a writer, and they have a daughter named Clara. Sofia's biggest project is a robot called FR4NK13, who later becomes known as Franky. Franky is designed to be a perfect human girl.
Sofia sends Franky to school to live among humans. Franky has to keep her robot identity a secret from everyone. This is super hard! Tamara Franco, a very smart girl at school, suspects something is different about Franky. She tries everything to figure out Franky's big secret.
Franky makes friends and faces many challenges as she tries to fit in. Christian Montero Léon, a popular boy, falls for Franky, but he doesn't know she's a robot. Paul Mejía, another scientist, tries to copy Sofia's ideas. The show is a mix of comedy, romance, and mystery. It teaches us not to judge people and to find joy in those who are different.
Season 2: New Feelings, New Dangers
In Season 2, Franky gets a new heart, which makes her half-human and half-robot. This means she starts to feel new emotions, which can be confusing! She also faces new enemies and goes on new adventures. Franky learns that it's much harder than she thought for robots and humans to live together peacefully.
Meanwhile, Sofia, Franky's creator, pretends to be a new nanny named Sabrina. She uses a special robotic suit called C4MB10 (Change) to do this.
A group called the Anti-Robot League appears, led by Segundo Mejía, who is Paul's twin brother. Tamara finally discovers Franky's secret! She threatens to tell Segundo, who becomes the new principal of Franky's school. This puts Franky in a lot of trouble.
Also, Roby Mejía, another robot, becomes a superhero named Andromax with help from his parents. But he has to be careful because the girls at school are trying to find out who the mysterious hero is.
Season 2 Part 2: A Mystery from the Future
After some events where Franky's memories are taken, a mysterious girl arrives in town. She has many secrets and is actually from the future, the year 2035! Her mission is to make Franky and Christian break up forever. She believes this will stop humans and robots from ever finding peace.
However, as she tries to complete her mission, she starts to learn surprising things about her own creator and where she comes from. The second part of Season 2 premiered in September 2016.
