Heloísa Jorge

Maria da Paz is a committed baker who becomes a wealthy businesswoman twenty years after a tragedy strikes on the day of her wedding to Amadeu. From this broken union a baby is born, Jô, who seeks power and despises her mother’s humble origins. Afraid that her parents’ reunion might spoil her plans, Jô starts an alliance with the charming Régis to convince Maria to marry him and, together, they plan to steal all of Maria’s fortune. In this exciting telenovela written by Emmy Awards winner Walcyr Carrasco, Maria’s optimism must be stronger than Jô’s ambition when the baker finds out about the betrayal and her own daughter’s dangerous secrets.

Naïve and provocative Gabriela is a raggedy migrant worker who arrives in town to mesmerize all with her playful and simple, yet raw sensuality. Set in 1925, the story unravels in Ilhéus, a quiet northeastern coastal city thriving with cocoa crops and aspirations for progress, even though the traditional ways still rule.

When she was a young girl, Heloisa was harshly torn apart from the love of her life: Pedro, a straightforward romantic young man whose powerful family strongly believes the ends always do justify the means. Because she comes from a very humble background, Pedro's parents set up all kinds of intrigues in order to prevent the couple from fulfilling their seemingly predestined love story. Twenty years later, all it takes is a casual encounter to spark that feeling again and have them fighting against not only Pedro's family tricks, but also Heloisa's mighty and unscrupulous husband.
