Plot[edit]

Niní tells the story of Nina Gómez, an innocent girl, somewhat distracted, spontaneous and with a big heart, who has been left alone with her grandfather, the gardener of the embassy in which they live. The life of Nina it is altered with the arrival of the new ambassador, Tomás Parker (Federico Amador), an orderly and distant man. Tomás Parker arrives at the mansion accompanied by his ambitious secretary Celina Martínez Paz (Paula Morales) and his four adopted children, who, having been born in different countries, form a heterogeneous and very particular family. Niní, who quickly becomes fond of the kids, she must overcome several obstacles to be able to remain in the embassy next to them. To the point that she ends up disguising herself as a man and becoming Nicolás, the new ambassador's driver. Niní will fall madly in love with Tomás just like he does with her. From now on a delicious plot begins to develop where Niní, with its simplicity and brightness, will reach the heart of the Parkers, transmitting values that neither power nor money can get, freedom, love and a sense of humor outside of the usual. But things will get complicated when Nicolás appears, who is actually Niní disguised as a man.

Theater[edit]

Niní was adapted to theater in a play called Nini, The Search. All the characters were featured on stage singing and dancing the songs from the original show. The play made its debut on January 24, 2010, in Mar del Plata. The second showing took place on February 27, 2010 in the Orfeo Superdome in Córdoba. More than 5,500 people attended the show. The run ended its season at the Gran Rex theater in Buenos Aires, with over 35,000 people in attendance.[5]

The show was also presented for the first time in Florence, Italy in November 2010.[citation needed]

Legal dispute[edit]

In 2010, producer Gustavo Yankelevich filed a plagiarism lawsuit on behalf of RGB Entertainment and Cris Morena Group, alleging that Niní was a copy of the telenovela Floricienta, which Bertotti starred in during the 2004-2005 TV season. The Argentinian courts ruled in favor of the complainants, and Niní was pulled off the air on April 16, 2010, despite earlier reports of an agreement between the two parties.[6] The double-episode ending drew record ratings.[7][8]
