It was broadcast in the primetime at 9pm (UTC) and then switched to the 11pm (UTC) slot. Some of the first scenes were recorded in Brazil, but the telenovela was mainly recorded in Portugal, in the region of Alentejo.
It's the 5th Portuguese telenovela (3rd from TVI) nominated for Best telenovela in the 2014 Emmy International.
In the Municipality of Estremoz, in the Alentejo, five children, adopted by the Alentejo patriarch Emílio Belmonte (António Capelo), manage a business group named Belmonte, owner of companies in the business of Winemaking, Oils, Marble Exploration, Hunting Tourism and Financial Investments and Real Estate.
The Belmonte family is linked to the ancient history of the region, but Emílio, the last descendant of the family, married Clarisse, a woman who could not have children and, as such, to the survival of the name, the couple had to adopt children. Each of the four older brothers, João (Filipe Duarte), José (João Catarré), Pedro (Diogo Amaral) and Carlos (Marco D'Almeida), are each responsible, respectively, for one of the business areas, while Lucas (Lourenço Ortigão), the youngest, was studying photography to London. Business, despite the crisis, is stable and family harmony is evident, continuing the five brothers to live together in the family's homestead.
While in the Alentejo are made some preparations for the engagement between João and Julieta (Carla Galvão) - daughter of another older family from the region, but bankrupt, the Milheiro family - in Brazil, Emílio is with Sofia (Manuela Couto) and her daughter, Paula (Graziella Schmitt), revealing that Emílio has another family.
