Plot
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.
Sofia was Emílio lover and became pregnant at the time Clarisse stood ill with terminal cancer. As Sofia refused to abort, Emílio paid her to move to Brazil where she gave birth to Paula, who nobody ever told was the daughter of an extramarital relationship growing with the false story that the father spends most of his time in Portugal because of business, in hope to one day sell it to reform in Brazil and stay with his Brazilian family.
After a day of happiness «in family», on his farm in the Pantanal (Brazil), Emílio returns to Portugal, leaving Paula in tears, as always, in time to say goodbye. What she doesn't know is that she is saying goodbye to her father forever. On the way to the airport, Emílio sees what appears to be a road accident and decides to stop to help. But what appeared to be an accident is actually a fatal ambush for Emílio planned by his son Carlos.
