"Verdades Secretas" (English: "Hidden Truths" or "Secret Truths") is a Brazilian telenovela created by Walcyr Carrasco that originally aired in 2015 on TV Globo. Episode 1 introduces the main characters, the modeling world in São Paulo, and the central dramatic premise: the collision of ambition, sex work hidden as high-end modeling, and family tensions. The series gained international attention for its mature themes, complex characters, striking cinematography, and strong performances—especially by protagonists such as Marina Ruy Barbosa (as Angel) and Camila Pitanga (as Carolina), and the antagonist-played-by-Rodrigo Lombardi. Its notoriety and popularity have led to demand for subtitled versions in multiple languages, including English, and to many viewers seeking episodes via social platforms like Facebook.
