The greatest force of nature is love.
Created by Bruno Luperi
On TV Globo
A sweeping telenovela centered on family reconciliation and romantic entanglement set against the Pantanal landscape, balancing melodrama with genuine emotional stakes across 167 episodes.
After the mysterious disappearance of his father, Joventino, the cowboy José Leôncio becomes a wealthy farm owner in Pantanal. Over twenty years have passed and, bitter-hearted because of his father vanishing and the escape of his wife to Rio de Janeiro with his baby, José Leôncio has the chance to make amends with the boy, now a young man raised in the big city with very different values and habits than his own.
