The general direction was by Paulo Ubiratan. It was co-produced with Portuguese Radio and Television (which financed 20% of the production) and broadcast in prime time on RTP1. It featured Lima Duarte, Renata Sorrah, Armando Bógus, Eva Wilma, Maurício Mattar, Adriana Esteves, Eloísa Mafalda, and Fábio Júnior, in a plot dealing with the rivalry between two families in the northeastern backlands, full of elements of magical realism. Plot The small town of Resplendor, located in the northeastern backlands, was the stage for political disputes between the Pontes and the Batistas. Murilo Pontes was to marry the young Pilar Farias, with whom Jerônimo, the Batista heir, was also in love. On the day of Murilo and Pilar's wedding, the bride says no at the altar, believing that Murilo was the father of the child that Eliane, her best friend, was expecting. Seeking revenge, Pilar marries Jerônimo, Murilo's enemy, while Murilo marries Hilda, a young woman who has always loved him. From this union, Leonardo is born, and Murilo pursues a political career in Brasília, while Pilar has a daughter, Marina, and becomes a widow on the day of her daughter's birth. Before this, Eliane's daughter is born, but the mother dies in childbirth, and Pilar takes on the responsibility of raising the girl, giving her her mother's name, Eliane. With her husband's death, Pilar assumes leadership of the Batista family, now composed of herself, her daughter Marina, her bohemian brother-in-law Carlão Batista (Jerônimo's only brother), and Carlão and Jerônimo's grandmother, the centenarian Dona Quirina, 120 years old. Twenty-five years pass, Murilo returns to Resplendor and finds Pilar wanting to make her daughter, Marina, the mayor of the city, a destiny he had reserved for his son, Leonardo. But neither of them counts on their children, upon meeting, falling in love and having to hide this love because of the rivalry between their parents, a rivalry that conceals an unresolved love. But the Pontes and Batista families will have a dangerous adversary in the fight for control of Resplendor: Cândido Alegria, a man who became rich by robbing and killing his Portuguese friend Benvindo Soares, and who harbors a passion for Pilar Batista. To get what he wants – the mayoralty of Resplendor and Pilar's heart – Cândido Alegria counts on the help of the ambitious Eliane, the Batista family's helper, who doesn't suspect that he is her biological father. But Resplendor has other mysteries. The city receives a visit from the enigmatic photographer Jorge Tadeu, who occupies himself with photographing and seducing the married women of the city. Among them is Úrsula, daughter of the devout Gioconda, sister of Murilo Pontes. Also in the city is a group of gypsies led by Yago. Yago's sister, Bela Vida, falls in love with Carlão Batista, but tries to avoid this passion, knowing that her brother will not allow this involvement. Carlão is Pilar's brother-in-law and owner of the Grêmio Recreativo Resplendorino, which is run by his friend and confidant Adamastor.
