D.E.T.A.I.L.S.
... on kykNET & kie's Plaas van Passie, the channel's first Afrikaans-dubbed Brazilian telenovela as opposed to Turkish, which all of the previous ones have been so far.
It premieres on Tuesday 18 March at 20h00, replacing
My Naam is Farah which ends the Monday before, and it has 120 episodes in total.
Scenario
It tells the story of Aline, a maths teacher whose husband, Samuel, is murdered on their farm by villains who want his land.
Aline has no farming experience, but with the help of her loyal friend Jonatas and the support of her mother, Jussara, she decides to do everything in her power to keep the farm for herself and her son, João.
Her greatest opposition comes from land baron Antônio La Selva, the man responsible for Samuel’s death.
But there’s also complicated love in the air when her path crosses with Daniel, Antônio’s son.
Things get even more messy when Caio, Daniel’s half-brother who is as different from him as night and day, also sets his sights on Aline.
Caio’s mother, Agatha, died during his birth, and Antônio has never forgiven him for it.
Irene, Antônio’s wife and the mother of Daniel and Petra, as well as Caio’s stepmother, is power-hungry and will do anything to ensure that Daniel and Petra take over the family business.
