Lost is going to impact due to its visual power and because it is a very powerful story, with a father willing to do anything to find out what has become of his daughter. It is not easy to carry out a production of these characteristics, So I congratulate the entire team for the level achieved.”

It has been an exciting challenge to produce this story because in addition to taking place entirely in natural settings and in different countries, it has allowed us to add the talent of some performers and professionals who belong to very different places. The result has been enriching and we believe that it will be a differential, at a time when fiction series have reached a very high value for the viewer."
