Synopsis

[edit]

Dara (Tereza Seiblitz) is a young gypsy who takes pride in her cultural origins but refuses to be bound by tradition. She refuses to marry Igor (Ricardo Macchi), the groom who was chosen for her by her father Jairo (Paulo José) and mother Lola (Eliane Giardini). Her younger sister has feelings for Igor, but he only has eyes for Dara and fights for her love. Dara falls for an engaged businessman she meets online - Júlio Falcão (Edson Celulari). Julio is a man who loves money and seducing women. He lives a marriage of appearances with Vera (Maria Luísa Mendonça). Igor and Vera, as well as the traditions of the Roma people, are the greatest obstacles in the love story of Julio and Dara.
