O Campeão

In 1979, Maria Isabel Caldeira had to leave Brazil because her husband, Humberto, was involved in a political kidnapping. Because of this, she left behind her infant son, Lucas. Upon returning fifteen years later, her greatest struggle is the search for her lost son. Maria Isabel returns on the same flight as Renato Alcântara, a European football star returning to Brazil to coach Pindorama Futebol Clube. Around this time, Felipe Caldeira, Maria Isabel's father, is vying for the club's presidency against the corrupt Alberto Drummond. The behind-the-scenes world of football serves as a backdrop for a plot involving murder, child exploitation, a homosexual couple seeking acceptance, a submissive woman left in a clinic by her husband, who is having an affair with the housekeeper, and other stories.
