Sweet Strawberries

Barra Secondary opens a new term with a grand art contest meant to reveal tomorrow's stars. The mood is bright as students rehearse and exchange ideas for the showcase. But a wave of disappearances follows a surge of online bullying, chilling the excitement and driving a wedge between friends. Secrets hide behind every confident smile, and suspicion spreads as the search for the missing expands. The school day feels smaller as fear grows, forcing kids to choose sides. The contest, once a promise of glory, becomes a puzzle where anyone could vanish next.

Created by André Ramalho and Maria João Mira, Sweet Strawberries follows a circle of Barra Secondary students led by Leo, Ema, Kika, Ricardo and Lucy. A major talent contest promises fame while rumors and a string of disappearances echo through the halls.

Reception and themes: The show pairs teen drama with a tight mystery at a careful pace. It looks at cyberbullying and the pressure to perform without overstatement, leaning on a capable ensemble to keep the focus on motives and the human cost of keeping secrets. The way social dynamics shift as clues surface adds tension and keeps viewers guessing.
