Plot

edit
 
Palmas, in Tocantins, is one of the main scenarios of the plot.[5][6]

The plot has two phases and begins in Tocantins. The first phase, set in 2007, presents the teacher Clara (Bianca Bin), an innocent young orphan who lives with her grandfather, a bar owner Josafá (Lima Duarte) in Jalapão. She meets Gael (Sergio Guizé), an heir to a decaying family of Palmas, and ends up falling in love with him. However, Clara suffers from his explosive and extremely sexist temper and but ends up being advised by Sophia (Marieta Severo), her mother-in-law, to be understanding. Behind Sophia's demureness, which is just a facade, hides an ambition for the lands of Josafá, where a depleted emerald mine has been discovered, in which neither he nor his granddaughter have the least interest in exploiting after a tragedy that causes Clara's father and son of Josafá, Jonas (Eucir de Souza) to perish. Sophia, a domineering, self-willed, cunning and false woman, plans a plan to get rid of Clara, eventually putting her daughter-in-law in a psychiatric clinic for 10 years.[7]

The second phase, set in the present time, presents Clara trying to escape from the psychiatric clinic, without understanding how she got there, but discovers she was the victim of a major coup. She meets with the mysterious Beatriz (Nathalia Timberg), her only friend. He meets Renato (Rafael Cardoso), a friend in love with her, who will help her in her revenge plan against seven people: Sophia, Gael, the sensual and dangerous sister-in-law Livia (Grazi Massafera), Judge Gustavo (Luís Melo) and his wife Nádia (Eliane Giardini), psychiatrist Samuel (Eriberto Leão) and delegate Vinicius (Flávio Tolezani), while trying to find again her son Tomaz (Vitor Figueiredo), father and grandmother, some of Clara's foes.[7]

Production

edit

Cauã Reymond and Carolina Dieckmann were featured main roles in the plot, but the first declined because of movie commitments, while Dieckmann preferred to accept an invitation to the next telenova by Aguinaldo Silva.[8][9] Both were replaced by Rafael Cardoso and Grazi Massafera.[10] Nathalia Dill was invited shortly afterwards for the role, but also refused, claiming that she needed time to rest her image since she had just starred in 'Rock Story'. Maitê Proença was one of those who left the cast later. The actress Laís Pinho was announced for the cast of the plot, but in August it was announced that she would act in the next telenovela by Record, O Apocalipse.

The release of a part of the plot synopsis caused some estrangement from the resemblance to the American soap opera La Patrona.[11] Both have in common the fact that the girl is hospitalized in a psychiatric clinic by the villain of the plot.[11]
