[1] In the 1970s, in Rio de Janeiro, the neighborhood of Barra da Tijuca was a kind of promised land.

Celio, still a child, is impressed with the model of the enterprise, shown by his friend Otávio, son of Dr. Sabóia.

Fifteen years later, the workers who worked in the construction of the building created a slum beside the Paradise Condominium, and decided to take possession of the apartments and organize a peaceful invasion.

With the real estate scandal coming public, Dr. Sabóia committed suicide and left the business in the hands of Otávio (Miguel Falabella).

Celio (Pedro Cardoso), working as a reporter, is assigned to cover the case and thus is forced to reconnect with Otávio.
