Soy Luna : Identity, Rebellion, and the Reinvention of Self on Roller Skates
Soy Luna endures beyond its three seasons because it answers a universal adolescent question: "What if the person everyone expects me to be is not who I am?" Through glitter, wheels, and Latin pop music, the series argues that true maturity is not about accepting your inheritance—it is about building your own rink and inviting others to skate with you. It remains a landmark of Latin American teen television for its balance of entertainment and meaningful social commentary. Soy Luna
