[edit] Synopsis

The series is set in a beautiful Roseiral town filled with interesting people — romantic and mysterious, funny and ambitious — and everyone has stories to tell. For example. Olívia, who thinks that she has a perfect family and trusts her husband, the traitor Raul, who has a secret case. In same town, there is a funny hick family which includes Mirna the naïve, who is going crazy trying to get married, against the wishes of his brother, the grumpy Crispimy.

But the beautiful town is also the setting of a beautiful love story involving the botanical Rafael with the ballet dancer Luna. Their romance has many enemies, including the ambitious and devilish Cristina and her mother, the cruel Débora. One day, destiny catches the couple by surprise when Cristina plots to steal her cousin Luna's jewels, given to her by their grandmother, Adelaide. Cristina told Guto, her admirer and ex boyfriend, to fake an assault and take the jewels from Luna. Instead, Guto murders Luna.

In a far away village, Serena, the daughter of an Indian and a white miner, does not know that she is Luna's reincarnation and that her destiny is in the Roseiral town with Rafael, who she has not yet met, and who has passed 20 years mourning his wife's death. Everything changes when Serena travels to his town.

[edit] Curiosities

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Audience records: the Chapter that Mirna (Fernanda Souza) throw the villain Cristina (Flávia Alessandra) in a pigsty and she rubs her face in mud, it had 48 points of audience and 70% of share. Another big audience happens, the telenovela is going to end, when devil Debora (Ana Lúcia Torre) tries to murder Rafael (Eduardo Moscovis), putting poison in his juice, but who takes it and die is herself. But the most watched chapter was the last, going to 56 points.

Walcyr Carrasco was invited after Chocolate com Pimenta ended, by Globo's direction, They asked him: "what's your next telenovela?".

Main point to Ana Lúcia Torre and Flávia Alessandra actuations es the devil vilains Débora e Cristina, in a care performance. No-one even saw in a telenovela, mother and daughter in a "so perfect sithony" to make wicked things.

Main point to last chapter, although primary characters' death, it thrilled the public.

The text recited in the end is of authory of Harvey Spencer Lewis, XX century mistic.

And a last main point to comic scenes, like those in Divina's Boarding house. And the scenes in Mirna (Fernanda Souza), Crispim (Emílio Orciollo Netto) and Bernardo (Emiliano Queiroz) ranch. To finish, Olivia(Drica Moraes) and Vitório (Malvino Salvador), who hidden a great love behind their fights.
