If the characters of “Friends” were teenagers, lived in Nicaragua, and had a social conscience to deal with personal and social problems and the importance of solidarity, the result would likely be “Sexto Sentido,” Nicaragua's only homegrown novela. In just one season this 'social soap' has captured 70% of the TV audience in its time slot.

A documentary about the making of “Sexto Sentido” that looks at how such a groundbreaking series made it to the air in Nicaragua, and how the creators, writers, actors and viewers have grappled with controversial themes like domestic violence and homophobia in this impoverished country so heavily influenced by the Catholic Church.
