Follows "Ninguém Como Tu" (2005)

A big surprise.

If you liked Rui Vilhena's last soap-opera: "Ninguém Como Tu", you'll love this one. The plot is well defined and it has everything perfect. From the beginning to this point it has been very amusing and attractive. It explores such questions as the homosexuality, the swing, the "indigo children", etc...

It has drama, suspense, mystery, comedy... We see the actors in their best. The star of the show: Alexandra Lencastre does another flawless role. Margarida Vila-Nova who didn't do her best at "Mundo Meu" now surprises everyone as the evil and greedy Maria Laurinda. Maria José Pascoal has a very complex and difficult role, as the woman that becomes gradually mad, and she can do it perfectly. Everyone: Dalila Carmo as the sarcastic alcoholic actress Bárbara, Manuela Couto (probably the best actress in the soap-opera) as the irreverent and scheming Lídia, Marco d'Almeida as the arrogant Gonçalo and not to mention, the best actor in the soap-opera, the hard-working Marco Delgado as the obsessive/compulsive Bráulio.

The card that Rui Vilhena has to attract the public is the mystery that involves all the soap-opera. Almost everyone wants to know the identity of the Machiavellian and almost supernatural villain of the story: the Tubarão (Shark) who doesn't looks to the means to reach his ends. This mystery person is one of the principal motives of seeing this soap-opera, and his scenes, where never he or she is seen. It's well directed and the end of the soap-opera, probably during this March, will make this the most seen soap-opera in Portugal, it has already passed the barrier of the longest soap-opera of one season in Portugal, with over 200 episodes.
