About A Grande Mentira
Millionaire Roberto Albuquerque runs over Maria Cristina, and the two fall in love. But the young man's mother, Viridiana Albuquerque, disapproves of the relationship because the girl is poor. In the final chapters, already driven mad, Viridiana sets her own dress on fire.
Directed by Hedy Maia, A Grande Mentira leans on a strong ensemble — Myriam Pérsia, Cláudio Marzo, Gilberto Martinho — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1968.
