Contos de Verão

Cabral is a writer who decides to spend his summer writing a series about love stories. It is then that he begins to look back over his life and his works. He is married to Glorinha, a woman twenty years younger than him, with whom he has a daughter, the young Samanta. Glorinha dreams of having a second child, but Cabral rejects the woman's desire, creating a stalemate between the two.

Directed by Domingos de Oliveira, Contos de Verão leans on a strong ensemble — Reginaldo Faria, Vera Zimmermann, Ana Kutner — 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 1993.
