Perspective
First phase
The plot begins in the early 1940s, when the young traveling salesman Antônio Dias arrives in the town of Rio Pardo, in the interior of São Paulo, ready to make it in life. Dynamic and good at business, he begins to annoy coffee grower Armando Alcântara Magalhães, the most powerful man in the region, and the two become enemies. This doesn't stop Antônio from falling in love with Marina, his rival's sister. Although she is also in love, she gives in to her brother's pressure and marries farmer Paschoal Barreto, with whom she goes to live in the United States. Disillusioned, Antônio marries Cândida, owner of the Santa Isabel farm.
The world coffee crisis is underway and the market is looking for new ways to diversify the economy. Antônio decides to invest in cotton production on Cândida's farm. However, his inexperience and Armando's constant opposition lead him to lose the entire crop and go bankrupt, forcing him to sell the property to the enemy. Disillusioned, he leaves Rio Pardo to start life anew elsewhere.
Second phase
The second phase begins in 1956. Antônio Dias is now a small businessman based in Rio de Janeiro, the capital of the Republic. Now mature, he seems to have lost his old entrepreneurial drive and has become a bitter and frustrated man. He hasn't gotten over the failures of the past and isn't satisfied with the comfortable life he leads with his wife, son Ricardo and father-in-law Arthur. Nor has he ever managed to forget Marina. His marriage to Candida is breaking up and the two of them often talk about separating.
Antônio's life changes when he meets Italian industrialist Valério Fachini, owner of a building materials company. The two become partners and decide to take a chance on an adventure: taking part in the construction of Brasilia, the country's future capital. Antônio travels to the site and starts representing Fachini's company in supplying materials for the construction work. When the capital is completed, he is already a wealthy man. In the meantime, Antônio separates from Candida and meets Marina, who has returned from the United States. The two discover that they still love each other.
Third phase
At the age of seventy, still married to Marina and living on a farm near Rio Pardo, Antônio plots the revenge that will mean his personal fulfillment, and buys Armando's land.
