_La Saga, Negocio de Familia_ (in English _The Saga, Family business_) was a popular Colombian soap opera aired in 2004 by Caracol TV and then after 2006 aired on GenTV in South Florida. The show follows the history of the Manrique family, which was prominent in the underworld of Bogotá, Colombia. This telenovela is characterized by an unconventional plot: unlike many others, it is not a love story, but several stories of events that occur through five generations of the same family. Moreover, there is no humor and the plot is marked by death, suffering and crime. It received the “Best Telenovela” award at the Colombian Television Awards in 2005.
