Santos Dumont

The story of the man who embodied the great transformations of the turn of the century, acclaimed almost worldwide as the first man to fly a plane - the 14 Bis. Set in France and Brazil in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the production follows the aviator's trajectory, from his childhood at his family's coffee plantations in the interior of Minas Gerais, to the sophisticated Paris lounges and air clubs.

Directed by Estevão Ciavatta, Fernando Acquarone, Santos Dumont leans on a strong ensemble — João Pedro Zappa, Bruna Scavuzzi, Joana de Verona — 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 2019.
