Plot
Violetta, along with her father, Germán, just got back to her hometown, Buenos Aires, after living in Europe for some years. Later, it turns out she has a passion for music, dancing and singing. But her father doesn't want her to sing after the accident that happened to her mother, Maria. She was a famous singer who died in a car accident during a tour commissioned by her father when Violetta was just five years old.
German had moved his construction business and her (Violetta) away from Maria's father, whom German blamed for Maria's death. However, his own recent death prompts German and Violetta's return.
Now, Violetta is back in Argentina with no friends and seemingly no one who understands her until one day, in the rain, she slips and literally falls into the arms of Tomas.
With the help of her new governess, Angie (who is also secretly her aunt), Violetta enrolled at Studio 21 without her father's knowledge. There, she meets her first love, makes new friends, and meets a rival, Ludmilla. She keeps building up her musical talent day after day until the final show at the end of the year, where Angie manages to convince German, who now finally understands that singing and dancing is Violetta's passion and lets her attend Studio 21.[1]
