Real masterpiece! Despite it was filmed in 1988, it's still going fresh and captures you from the first episode. The main asset, of course, is dona Odete Almeida Roitman - officially the most famous villain in the history of Brazilian soap operas, brilliant work of Beatriz Segall. Some of her expressions I know by heart - "Eu gosto do Brasil, é uma beleza, mas só de longe, no cartão postal! Essa terra aquí não tem jeito meu bem, esse povo não vai pra frente... Povo preguiçoso, que so se fala em crise..." (I like Brazil, it's beautiful, but only from a distance, on a postcard! This country is a dead-end, these people don't want to go forward. Lazy people, who only talk about the crisis"
