O Beijo do Escorpião

An airplane disappears mysteriously; on board was Verónica, the twin sister of Vitória, the victim of a fraud by a millionaire. Presumed dead, Verónica assumes the identity of her sister and plans to avenge herself on the entrepreneur's family.

In imperial Brazil, a young woman stripped of her reputation is forced into exile from polite society. Recasting herself as Madam Beja, she builds an elite pleasure house that becomes a hub of political intrigue, economic power, and forbidden desire, using charm, intelligence, and ruthless strategy to bend the same men and institutions that once destroyed her.

Despite their differences, Valentina and her sister Nora share the dream of becoming successful in the fashion world. As they try to reach their dreams, obstacles like family and romance complicate their journeys.

There are no boundaries for a mother’s love... Madalena is a wealthy and powerful entrepreneur in the healthcare business who feels guilty about her grandson’s death, João, due to an accident at her pool when the boy was under her care. The death of the child results in her daughter Leonor spiral down into self destruction and madness, jeopardizing her career as well as her marriage to Bruno, an ambitious man. Leonor’s pain is heightened by the fact that, due to complications that occurred during labour, she is no longer able to carry a pregnancy to full term. With the support from her husband Rodrigo, Leonor's stepfather, Madalena offers to serve as a surrogate to Leonor through intrauterine insemination so that she and Bruno can have a biological child. But this pregnancy, which had everything to be the greatest act of love, is not only illegal, but proves to be an unparalleled atrocity.
