Writing
In 1970, during a glittering New Year's Eve party attended by the aristocracy, a young pantry maid named ZaĂra is mysteriously murdered. Thirteen years later, the prime suspect—GastĂŁo, a humble waiter and former colleague of the victim—seeks to prove his innocence with the help of his son, Nil, becoming entangled in the lives of the other party guests. The story also follows a cunning pair of jewel thieves: the sophisticated AntĂ´nia Regina and JoĂŁo Maria—a criminal lawyer and member of the declining aristocracy who takes up the cause of Nil's father.
The miniseries portrays the greed for money, power and prestige through the rise and fall of Alex Torres, a consequence of the schemes of the unscrupulous banker Frederico Scorza.
