Plot
Set in Rio de Janeiro, in the neighborhoods of Copacabana and Tijuca, the telenovela has as its central plot as the theft of the traditional luxurious hotel, Carioca Palace and its unfolding in the life of each one of the involved ones, be they be the guests, suspects or employees. The owner, Pedrinho Guimarães, inherited the family hotel and never saw it as a business, but as a way to spend and squander. The playboy abused all the glamour and fell on the spree, leaving aside the administration of the hotel itself. As a consequence, the Carioca was losing its prestige and, mainly, its money. On the verge of bankruptcy, Pedrinho, intending to live in the United States in the company of his butler Nelito and granddaughter Luíza, sells the hotel to Eric Ribeiro, one of the most respected businessmen in Brazil, but did not mention that his granddaughter, who always lived as a hotel, fell in love with Eric and suffered quietly with the sale.Eric, a man of integrity and one of the most successful men in the country, lost his wife in a car accident and never fell in love, despite the onslaught of his personal adviser, the clumsy and ambitious Maria Pia, who does everything for him; Eric sees her only as a good friend. The businessman is the father of the fragile and troubled teenager Bebeth, who has suffered greatly since her mother's death, living in a totally parallel world. In addition, the girl suffers from psychotic disorder and has hallucinations with her plush kangaroo, called Flora.
The crime was conceived by the cunning concierge Malagueta, who convinced the waiter Júlio, the receptionist Agnaldo and the chambermaid Sandra Helena, an incorruptible police officer, will have a challenge and go beyond unraveling the mystery - she will eventually fall in love with Júlio, the "repentant thief".
The criminal quartet, who can not spend the money to raise suspicions, continues to work normally at the Carioca Palace, hoping that the place will decree bankruptcy and that all will be dismissed.
However, Sandra Helena inherits half the fortune when Marieta, a lady who lives in the hotel, very affectionate with her, and with whom Sandra has a lot of affection, ends up dying, and Sandra Helena is free to spend the fortune without any suspicion.
