==Plot== |
|||
Pedro is a [[firefighter]] which lives in the neighborhood of Tinguá, in the border of [[Rio de Janeiro]] and [[Nova Iguaçu]] municipalities. After the sudden death of his parents, Pedro became responsible for the custody of his three brothers: Viviane, Rafael and trouble-maker Antônio, who works on GG, a fictional [[ice cream]] factory located in Tinguá. At nights, Antônio and his gang practices acts of vandalism on the neighborhood, what makes his relationship with Pedro estranged. Pedro dates Ivonete, twin sister of Wallace, his best friend since childhood. |
|||
Carolina is the only child of Walter and Arlete, founders of GG. She lives on the upper class neighborhood of [[Urca]] and manages her own video production company. She dates Tomás for three years. She is about to marry him, without suspecting that all he wants is to take control of GG. Tomás is son of manipulative Vilma, co-founder of GG, which wants them to get marry for her to control GG once again. Her late husband João co-founded GG with Walter, Arlete and her, but Walter dissolved the partnership after João was accused of corruption, taking control of all the factory shares himself. |
|||
Pedro and Carolina where friends at childhood, but lost personal contact after they became adults. After Antônio set fire on a fraternization of GG workers, they meet once again. They feel a sudden attraction for each other, what causes instantaneous jealousy on Tomás. A security worker delates Antônio, which loses his job, compromising even more the troubled relationship with his brother. Carolina was filming the fraternization and returns at the factory at the same night to pick up her camera. She sees herself trapped when somebody sets the building on fire. Pedro and Wallace go for her recue and, on the meanwhile, Wallace dies. Antônio's gang was depredating GG's wall during the same night, and he is suspected of setting the place on fire. The factory works are transfered to a second building on the same area. |

Realizing the mutual interest between Carolina and Pedro, Ivonete decides to ally with Tomás to separate them. The plan fails, and Carolina starts dating Pedro, while Tomás starts a relationship with Ivonete. Vilma, the real incendiary, falsificates an insurance policy to looks like Walter set his own factory on fire. She set the factory on fire to eliminate proofs that she and Tomás were committing corruption. Tomás' hate against Walter and his family is fed by his mother, which tells him that Walter was responsible for João's death. According to her, João could not handle the pressure of being accused by Walter and died of a [[heart attack]]. It is then revealed that João died after being hit on the head by Miguel, Vilma's lover. After discovering this, Tomás turns against his mother, which becomes the main suspect of setting the factory on fire after the testimonies of Verônica and Ricardo, secretaries on the factory, which had seen her with her second victim, an insurance worker which she bribed to falsificate the policy whose car had blown up. After Walter dies on a set up, it is revealed that there is a second incendiary, trying to incriminate Vilma. The identity of Walter's killer remains unknown. |

==Controversies== |
|||
[[Image:Leticia Colin.jpg|thumb|Letícia Colin portrays Viviane, which was raped by the pedophile Lipe and had to undergo an abortion.]] |
|||
One of the characters of the supporting cast, Viviane, gets involved with Lipe, a [[pedophile]], on the [[internet]]. After his mother's death, Lipe moves from [[São Paulo]] to Nova Iguaçu, and ends up [[rape|raping]] Viviane on the forest. After his second rape attempt, Lipe is caught by the police, but escapes. Viviane gets [[pregnant]] and undergoes an [[abortion]]. Besides being a legal procedure on rape cases in Brazil, abortion has never being treated in a frank and positive way on telenovelas such as it has been on ''Chamas da Vida''. On the other hand, the telenovela also portrays the drama of women which decides to carry on a pregnancy resulted from rape with the character of Raíssa. She was forced by her her parents to gave birth to Gabriel, which was raised as her brother. After both her parents dies on a car accident, she becames responsible for Gabriel, taking him from the countryside to Nova Iguaçu. The telenovela was also groundbreaking in Brazil for showing the prejudice [[transsexual]] people suffer with the character of Carlão/Docinho (lived by director Roberto Bomtempo). |
|||
==Audience== |
|||
''Chamas da Vida'' premiered at second place on the audience ratings. After [[SBT]] started to rerun ''[[Pantanal (telenovela)|Pantanal]]'', the telenovela lost part of its audience. However, it remained on the second place, losing it to ''Pantanal'' once in a while. After the end of both ''Pantanal'' and [[Rede Globo]]'s ''[[A Favorita]]'', ''Chamas da Vida'' rose its audience ratings. The telenovela has reached an average rating of 15,5 in Rio de Janeiro and of 13,8 in São Paulo. Although its audience rating is higher in Rio than in São Paulo, proportionally ''Chamas da Vida'' has almost the double of viewers in the latter. |
