“The Taste of Passion”


The Taste of Passion, the telenovela written by Ana Maria Moretzsohn directed by Denise Saraceni, promises lots of comedy and romance to tell the story of Diana (Letícia Spiller) and Alexandre (Luigi Baricelli). Just like a fairy-tale, the leading couple must face challenges, intrigue, jealousy, hurt and betrayal so that their love for each other may survive. The Taste of Passion also brings to the little screen a lot of funny stuff, music, gastronomy and poetry, be it during grape harvesting in Portugal or in the traditional bohemian district of Lapa in Rio de Janeiro. The Telenovela also touches on social themes like adoption and adult illiteracy.

The telenovela tells the story of our heroine Diana (Letícia Spiller) who, after her father’s sudden death, becomes the head of her family – her mother and three sisters. To do that, Diana has to face new challenges. The only way out of the financial crisis her family is involved is to get hold of some land her father inherited in Portugal. The only clue she has is a letter they have found after her father passed away. Despite the uncertainties, Diana decides to go to Portugal to find the land.

Before leaving, Diana meets Alexandre (Luigi Baricelli) in a special celebration night in the Lapa District. The safety and monotony of her engagement to Nelson (Marcelo Serrado) is broken and his romantic heart is taken by this sudden and strong passion – passion that will bring moments of intense happiness but also a lot of suffering. Alexandre treats her as just one more of his romantic conquests.

Fate makes them meet again in Portugal. Diana discovers that her father’s land produces the best wine in the region and that they have been illegally taken by a woman - Zenilda Paixão (Arlete Salles). Since the legal procedures to recover her rights over the land are long and slow, Diana needs to make some money to go back to Brazil and decides to work in the wine harvesting.

It is in Portugal that our heroine will meet again the man she had fallen so desperately in love with during a brief meeting back in Brazil. She finds out that Alexandre Paixão (Luigi Baricelli) is a rich owner of wineries and a huge wine producer in the Vale Douro region, but she doesn’t have the slightest clue that his lands are the same she inherited. Going through a huge inner conflict, Alexandre (Luigi Baricelli) convinces his mother Zenilda (Arlete Salles) to sign an agreement with Diana. They would pay a small rent for the land for a specific period of time, established in the agreement. Since Diana has no idea of the real value of the land, she accepts a deal that is really very bad for her. Before coming back to Brazil, Diana and Alexandre will enjoy a real honeymoon by the Douro River, interrupted only by the arrival of Nelson (Marcelo Serrado) to Portugal.

This is the beginning of a story with lots of ups and downs for Alexandre and Diana. The rich playboy is caught between his madly passion and the his mother’s ambition, and the “Cinderella” who does not believe in her Prince Charm, because she thinks his feeling are not real, he is only interested in the land, but she can’t get him out of her mind anyway.

A CASA DAS SETE MULHERES (The House of the Seven Women) is a mini-series loosely based on a part of Brazilian history (the Farroupilha War) and some very dynamic historical characters. The Farroupilha War began when the Gaúchos, people who lived in the Rio Grande do Sul region of Brazil wanted independence from the Portugal Empire. They were unhappy with the Portuguese rule (Imperials) and started a revolt that lasted ten years, from 1835 to 1845. The name of the civil war comes from the Portuguese word "Farrapos" which means, ragged or tattered clothing.
With the exception of their leaders, who were wealthy land owners, the rebels (lower-class people, slaves, free blacks, and Indians) were poorly dressed, poorly fed and in poor health. The historical figures in this mini series include the following: Bento Gonçalves da Silva (Werner Schünemann) - leader of the rebels, Giuseppe Garibaldi (Thiago Lacerda) - an Italian adventurer and revolutionary, Ana Maria de Jesus Ribeiro better known as Anita Garibaldi (Giovanna Antonelli) - a revolutionary and abolitionist, and Manuela Ferreira (Camelia Morgado) - the narrator of the story. Against the background of this war, the story introduces the viewers to seven women (all related to Bento Gonçalves) - Dona Ana Joaquina (eldest sister of Bento Gonçalves), Caetana (wife of Bento Gonçalves), Perpétua (Caetana's daughter), Maria (sister of Bento Gonçalves), Manuela, Rosario, and Mariana (Maria's daughters). Dona Antônia (Jandira Martini), another sister of Bento Gonçalves, is not officially considered part of the "Sete Mulheres" (Seven Women) group but deserves a special mention. While the men are away fighting, the women move into one house (Dona Ana Joaquina's house) on a ranch for safety reasons. Each woman has a different personality and absorbing storyline of love, grief, courage, desire, hate, despair, hope, bitterness, and determination. A CASA DAS SETE MULHERES (The House of the Seven Women) presents a splendid story. Directed by Jayme Monjardim, it follows his other successful works like "Terra Nostra" and "O Clone." The actors give a strong perfo rmance. The scenery of the southern part of Brazil is breathtaking. The music, directed by Marcus Viana, is moving. The action, drama, and romance will keep you glued to your T.V.
