Sua Vida Me Pertence

Sua Vida Me Pertence (Portuguese for Your Life Belongs To Me) was the first in a tradition of telenovelas in Brazil. Broadcast by TV Tupi in São Paulo in black and white in 1951 and 1952, it pioneered the genre worldwide, and featured Brazil's first on-screen kiss.

Unlike soap operas, it concentrated on one primary story line and reached a conclusion after a set number of episodes. In this format, it was an innovation of its age, and was progenitor of a hundred such shows thereafter.

It began in December 1951, just over a year since the birth of TV Tupi. It was broadcast live, twice per week, for fifteen episodes, and centred upon the will-they won't they romance between an attractive young girl, played by Vida Alves, and her lover, played by Walter Forster, acting as a launch-pad to fame for the latter.[1]
