Supertorpe (Spanish for"Superclumsy") is an Argentinian series targeted at children and teenagers. The show is distributed worldwide by Disney Channel and Telefe Internacional, and locally by Telefe.[1] [2] Candela Vetrano and Pablo Martínez took starring roles.[3] [4]
Poli Truper (Candela Vetrano) is a 16-year-old girl. She is a seemingly ordinary teenager but with a special gift: she is super powerful and equally clumsy. Poli has the misfortune of losing control of her powers whenever she gets nervous or gives vent to her feelings, which gets her in trouble constantly, especially at school.
She is actually "Super T", (Super Truper), but, being too clumsy, people call her "Super Clumsy" and it annoys her that people call her like that. Poli knows the possibilities that her powers could give her, but fails to dominate them. Thus, her clumsiness will unleash several disasters, as freezing all her school classmates wanting to stop time in a happy moment, getting caught on the wall with half body inside and half body outside when she tries to teleport from one room to another, or leave the school principal deaf for a few minutes when she sings a song with her super squeaky voice. Fortunately, her brother Filo – whose only super power is to be unbearably clever – is always responsible for covering the destructions that Poli produces with her bungling and avoid that her secret gift is discovered.
The only place where Poli feels in control of her powers is in her dreams, where not only she manages to master them to perfection but also makes it while wearing her glamorous superhero costume. In addition, in her dream world she sings as the gods and manages to conquer Felix (Pablo Martínez), her class companion whom which she's madly in love with. With the help of her brother, her best friend Mia and her Chinese nanny Chin Chan – who is, in fact, a professional trainer of superheroes – Poli will attempt to learn how to master her powers to become the superheroine that she is intended to be and fight against evil, as she muddles through the ups and downs of adolescence and the challenge of growing up.[5]
