Sinopsis: Elisa, una joven reportera, asume la defensa ecológica de los territorios indígenas en contra de un empresario que es su amante. La lucha va tornándose cada vez más pública hasta convertirse en un caso internacional. This is a comedy; a double satire of Brazilian soap operas and at the same time, about "savage capitalism" in 1990s Brazil where the Amazon jungle is exploited, while killing natives and appropriating the land of its few surviving owners. The plot is headed mostly by Hugo Assis (Jose Mayer), apparently at first a major industrialist, and Elisa Medeiros (Fernanda Torres), a reporter investigating the suspect activities of Mr. Assis' company. Through Elisa, the powerful industrialist discovers his true origins. During a passionate love affair with her, Mr. Assis starts to become another person. As his company begins a massive gold extraction operation on indigenous lands, Elisa becomes engaged in an environmental struggle against this project and the exploitation of Indian homelands.
