MEANT TO BE, YOUR TRUE LOVE IS ONLINE
By Alessandra Bourdot

GENRE: Drama
LOGLINE:

The search for online love and the behind the scenes of a dating site.

SYNOPSIS:

MEANT TO BE is the fictional DATING SITE similar to sites like Match.com, OkCupid, among others.

The story takes place in two independent cores.

The first core is developed by the story of the website staff.

The second core features the site clients with a new story in each episode.

The PLOT of this drama / comedy series is the search for love, presenting the technology as a new element, as a character itself, that might help or hinder love stories that are "meant to be". The series also covers polemic topics such as online predators, crimes, coups, prejudices, adultery and relationships later in life.

THE MAIN CORE

Kevin, 36, information security analyst, started a dating site business after losing his job. His sister, Lauren, 38, an art teacher, entered the society without great expectations. With the unexpected success of MEANT TO BE, they began to devote themselves exclusively to the business. Lauren is an artist by vocation and temperament, oppressed by a rigid education. Kevin, her brother, partner and best friend, is optimistic, balanced, but is facing a crisis in his marriage to Denise, a successful HR manager.

Daniel also works on the website. Ambitious and sarcastic, his defensive posture was built from old wounds. Katelyn is the content publisher, full of ideals and principles, who dreams of becoming a documentary filmmaker. The daily contact between Katelyn and Daniel is made of friction and opposing views, leaving the audience with the task of reflecting on the middle ground and come to a judgment.

At the main core are also Leo and Max, two characters who will establish a love triangle with Lauren. Max is the doctor of Gerald, father of Lauren and Kevin.The common points between Max and Lauren will lead to a harmonious relationship, but without passion. Leo, Police Chief, who investigates cyber crimes occurring in the website, is the opposite of Max, with a difficult temperament, almost hostile, and a devastating past. The apparent lack of affinity between Leo and Lauren suggests an unlikely relationship, but their inner shadows will show that they have more in common than it appears.

SECOND CORE

Each episode brings a couple of clients. Their stories turn into topics of blog articles on MEANT TO BLOG, written by Katelyn. Gathering two parallel stories (clients and main characters), the aim of the series is to find the balance between drama and comedy. Thus, each episode presents lighter situations in the second core (clients) when there is tension or drama in the main core, and vice versa.
