Storyline

Writer sells a soap-opera script to an enigmatic TV station tycoon, Mr. Y, and manages to place his girlfriend Eva as the major star. But another actress, the cunning and beautiful Fernanda, influences Mr. Y to gradually obtain more importance in the show, and Eva's role starts to fade away. The melodramatic series is about a young woman, in love with a poor writer. But her parents want her to marry the wealthy Adolf, son of a noble German family, to ascend socially and financially. They even lock her up in her room to avoid her going out and meeting her true love. The two stories, real life and fiction, get increasingly mixed up. Written by lukejoplin@infolink.com.br
