Plot
When Mia decided to quit her promising career as an attorney in the capital, and temporarily move back to her parents’ in search of peace, she would never imagine that she'd be at the centre of a conflict that would change her life.
In the parish of Rio de Meandro there are two villages locked in a perpetual war with each other, now made even worse by the construction project for a dam that will condemn one of them underwater. Their fight for survival will be at the forefront of the savage head to head between Mia's parents, Mónica and Paulo, residing in Aldeia Nova, and Afonso's parents, Helena and parish chairman Rui Guerreiro, residing in Aldeia Velha.
Afonso is a local who had no shortage of women fawning over him, but went away to study engineering in Lisbon. He hasn't come back too often since then. He believes in progress and is kind at heart.
In January 2021, the pre-production for the telenovela began.[12] In the end of the same year, more exactly on 15 November, the first scenes began to be filmed in SP Televisão studios and in
Cartaxo district, Valada and Vila Chã de Ourique.[13][14] The last scenes of the telenovela were filmed on 9 June 2022.[15]
