A Story of Revenge, Love and Justice

It all begins with a tragedy that would change the life of little Rita (played by Mel Maia) forever. After the death of her father, Genésio, she is cruelly abandoned in a landfill by her stepmother Carminha (Adriana Esteves), a cold and calculating woman who plans to get rich at any cost. However, Rita is rescued by Lucinda (Vera Holtz), the “mother of the landfill”, and grows up harboring a desire for revenge against her stepmother.

Now an adult and with a new name — Nina (played by Débora Falabella) —, she returns to seek revenge on the woman who destroyed her childhood and her father's life. Their reunion begins turbulently, but Nina, as a servant, finds a way to win Carminha's heart, pretending to be friends with her “boss” so that she can carry out her revenge plan. This begins a silent war, marked by psychological games, blackmail, secrets and thrilling twists.

Carminha: The Villain That Brazil Loved to Hate

It is impossible to talk about Brazil Avenue without highlighting the villain Carminha. Masterfully played by Adriana Esteves, she became one of the most iconic characters in national television drama. Selfish, manipulative and ruthless, Carminha provoked anger in those who watched, but also aroused curiosity and even a certain admiration for her ability to reinvent herself in the face of obstacles.

Adriana Esteves' performance was so impressive that the character became a meme, inspired costumes and even gained attention in the international press. Her performance won several awards and consolidated her name among the greatest actresses on Brazilian TV — for many, the greatest.

An All-Star Cast

In addition to the protagonists Nina and Carminha, Brazil Avenue had a very strong cast. Murilo Benício played Tufão, the former soccer player who was in an unhappy marriage with Carminha. Vera Holtz was moving as the sensitive Lucinda. Other highlights include Cauã Reymond, Ísis Valverde, Marcelo Novaes, Heloísa Périssé, Juliano Cazarré and José de Abreu.

Each core of the soap opera had its own dynamics and contributed to the success of the plot.
