Avenida Brasil is a Brazilian telenovela that tells the dramatic story of Rita, a joyful and cheerful young girl whose life was ruined by her cruel and ambitious stepmother. She returns years later under a new identity to seek revenge. After the death of Rita’s mother, her father marries Carminha, a conniving and gold-digging woman who acts like a perfect stepmother in front of her husband and changes her personality when he is not around. Rita overhears Carminha having a conversation with her accomplice and lover, Max, about fleeing with her husband’s money after he sells the house they live in. Rita warns her father who later confronts his wife. In the turn of events, while walking down the “Avenida Brasil”, Rita’s father gets run over by Tufao.
He tries to tell Tufao that his wife is a bad person. However, Tufao, a friendly, famous and rich footballer believes he is trying to tell him to take care of his wife but he soon dies. As a result, Tufao looks for Carminha and she makes him believe she is a sad widow.
Meanwhile Carminha and her lover, Max, sends young Rita to live in a landfill, so that she does not stand in the way of their plan to get rich. At that time, she seduces Tufao and later tells him she is pregnant. This forces him to break up with his girlfriend and marry her. At the landfill, Rita is subjected to child labour under the control of a terrible man, named Nilo. But, luckily she meets Batata, a boy, who becomes her best friend and true love. He takes her to live with other children under the care of loving Lucinda in another house at the landfill.
Fortunately, Rita is soon adopted and moves to Argentina with a nice family who changes her name to Nina. Rita/Nina’s adoptive father loves her very much, treated her well and makes sure she had good education. And soon, she becomes a famous chef. But Rita grows up with resentment towards Carminha for the death of her father as well as all the bad things she has done.
Her adoptive father always advises her to give up her mission of revenge against Carminha and Max and forges ahead with her life. Rita’s friend best, Batata, is also adopted by Carminha and Tufao and they renamed him Jorgito. Jorgito is adopted by his biological mother years after she abandons him at the landfill as a toddler and it is not a coincidence. However, Jorgito despises Caminha but he doesn’t know why. When Nina’s adoptive father dies, she masterminds a plan to take Carminha down and unmask her in front of her whole family. So, years later, motivated by vengeance, she moves back to Brazil under her adoptive name and infiltrates Car-minha’s family by becoming their personal chef. Nevertheless, she must face the bitter consequences of seeking revenge against those who hurt her the most.
Meanwhile Carminha’s husband, Tufao, is unaware of her many lies and manipulations. They live with his garish relatives in an unrefined suburban mansion and, deceitfully, she makes evil Max her brother-in-law by making sure he gets married to Tufao’s annoying sister.
Together, Carminha and Max continue to carry out their atrocious plans to get ahead while continuing their love/hate affair in the same house as their unsuspicious spouses. Nina becomes so engrossed in her single-minded goal to inflict suffering and punishment on those who wronged her that her own happiness is jeopardised. The only thing Carminha and Nina have in common is their sincere love for Batata/ Jorgito, who is Carminha’s biological and adoptive son and Nina’s childhood sweetheart.
Avenida Brasil is exciting and packed with numerous engaging scenes and every episode tells a better story.
