It remains unknown whether Maria Paula is interested in Ferraco's love or in revenge. Sílvia reveals her true identity hidden behind her stunning beauty: a psychopath willing to go to extremes to stay with Ferraço. João Pedro , and Branca were Silvia's parents. Branca discovers on the day following João Pedro's death that he had an extra-marital affair for over twenty years with Célia Mara . João Pedro met Célia Mara before marrying the powerful Branca and was like "a lover with a wifes face". Branca assumes the presidency of the Universidade Pessoa de Moraes , replacing her deceased husband, and transforms it in an institution of absolute excellence. Branca is the sister of the lawyer Paulo Barreto (Barretão), a human rights activist. He is married to Gioconda, a great lady of the carioca society, who is a snob and a gossip. The two are parents of Júlia, a very intelligent and active girl, who fell in love with Evilásio Caó, a black man from the Portelinha favela raising prejudices in the family in both race and class. Portelinha was created from the determination of Juvenal Antena, born leader, smart and compassionate. Juvenal was the boss of a builders union, the GPN, who brought workers from the Northeast. They heard the false promise that they would receive their fees from the failed company and rioted at the injustice. Juvenal resigned his position and joined the workers in the fight for their rights. He dreamt of joining those families without a home and creating a community. For the dream to become reality is a long leap of the imagination, yet Juvenal met with other demonstrators respected by the group: the mother-of-saint Lady Setembrina , the evangelical shepherd Inácio Lisboa, the carpenter Misael Caó, the father of Evilásio and a van owner Geraldo Peixeiro. With the help of the secretary of State of Social Service Narciso Tellerman, (the future deputy), Juvenal organizes an invasion of the land owned by the GPN. Lead by Juvenal and his gift for words they take over the land they want, where the community of their dreams grew: the favela of Portelinha, a place where people will never go without, where no there are drugs nor violence. Marconi Ferraço bought the land of GPN, and he will enter in a judicial and moral battle against Juvenal Antena. In the last few chapters of the story, an alliance between Ferraco and Juvenal begins. Ferraco aids Juvenal in his suit against his Godson. In return, Juvenal changes his opinion of Ferraco, but advises Maria Paula to marry Ferraco to recover her money, and for the sake of her and Ferraco's son: Renato, who adores his father. Renato does not know the dark past of his father. Silvia arranges a file she later sends to the boy with all the facts related to the con Ferraco arrange for Maria Paula. Silvia hopes to separate Ferraco and Maria Paula but she starts to lose her mind. Silvia kidnaps Renato, after escaping a mental hospital where she was locked up, after trying to kill Maria Paula and firing against Ferraco. She escapes without being able to kill Renato, and while she is fleeing she is hit by a car driven by a handsome millionaire who takes her to live in Paris with him. She contacts her accomplice, Joao Batista, who goes to Paris to work as her driver. Ferraco confesses his crimes as part of the pre-nup he signs in order to get Maria Paula to marry him again, so he goes to jail for 2 years, saying to Maria Paula that the only thing he hopes in exchange for his change of heart is to have her and their son waiting for him when he gets out of jail. Two years later, he gets out and finds that Maria Paula stole all his money and went away with Renato. When he is sitting on a beach, asking himself why would she do that to him after all the proofs he gave of his love for her, he receives a phone call from Maria Paula. She asks him what does it feel to be betrayed, he answers that he never would have believed that of her. She interrupts him and says to him: "Go to your old office building, there is a plane ticket in your name there, take the first plane and hurry, because our son and I are waiting for you" Ferraco arrives on a beautiful island, finds Renato walking on the beach, runs up to him and hugs him with loving care. Then, he sees Maria Paula, and asks her what would happen now between the two. She answers: "Now we are even, stop wasting time and kiss me, you idiot". Ferraco smiles and kisses her passionately and the words "The End" appear as the scene fates and the soup ends. [edit] Cast
