Wounded Past

When she was a young girl, Heloisa was harshly torn apart from the love of her life: Pedro, a straightforward romantic young man whose powerful family strongly believes the ends always do justify the means. Because she comes from a very humble background, Pedro's parents set up all kinds of intrigues in order to prevent the couple from fulfilling their seemingly predestined love story. Twenty years later, all it takes is a casual encounter to spark that feeling again and have them fighting against not only Pedro's family tricks, but also Heloisa's mighty and unscrupulous husband.

Directed by Vincent Villari, Maria Adelaide Amaral, Wounded Past leans on a strong ensemble — Cláudia Abreu, Reynaldo Gianecchini, Vera Holtz — 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 2016.
