Plan V La Serie

I thought it was about time again to write about a web series that's not from the US or UK and I chose the Argentinian web series Plan V La Serie. Es una comedia romántica protagonizada por chicas. 

Plan V (V as in Vagina) is described as the Argentinian L Word, but with gay-straight love triangles on top of that. It explores the life of Ana, a 30-year-old lesbian with a rocky relationship record. One day on the subway, she stumbles over a cute girl, called Laura, and falls head over heels in love. The catch? Laura turns out to be Ana’s brother’s girlfriend. Ana is “helped” by her friends: couple Mara and Pato, aka Duck, and party girl Flor.
Check out the 1st episode:


It does look a bit cheesy, but it's very well done and also funny and with lots of drama. The really interesting part about this web series is, though, that creators and leading actresses Lorena Romanin (Ana) and Sofia Wilhelmi (Laura), are actually in a relationship. And, the realisation that lesbian visibility is an important step towards equality was a driving force behind the series.
