Synopsis

THE SECRET

 

The secret of a lifetime...

 

Thirty years ago, Vanda found out that Teresa, a housekeeper working at her home, was pregnant of twins from her own husband Olavo. While he was on a diplomatic mission abroad, Vanda seizes the opportunity to make Teresa hide her pregnancy by promising to help her with money, all the while planning for a way to getting rid of her.

With no way to contact Olavo, Teresa is forced to comply with Vanda, oblivious to the fact that she intends to take advantage of her pregnancy for herself, as her inability to bear children is one of the reasons for her marriage being strained.

On the day of the birth, Vanda dupes Teresa and takes her to an inactive delivery room at the hospital where she works as a doctor and, with the help of a colleague, drugs Teresa in order to do what she needs. Vanda's plan is to keep one of the children, whom she’ll raise as her own, and sell the other one to a couple abroad.

Teresa wakes up from labour and, believing that her first daughter is stillborn, manages to escape from the hospital before Vanda manages to steal her other child, Carolina. Knowing that her boss won’t let go, Teresa decides to flee the country. Meanwhile, Vanda presents the twin, Benedita to her husband, telling him that she was abandoned by her mother and that she wants to adopt her. Olavo is enamoured by the baby, oblivious to the fact that she actually is his own biological daughter.

Carolina Batista

Sara Matos
A nurse living in London with her mother Teresa and sister Anna. When she learns that Anna has an auto-immune illness, which will surely lead to her needing a kidney transplant, Carolina takes her to every specialist, but the bas news comes when she finds out that she's incompatible as a donor. Her being as headstrong as she is makes her devote herself to volleyball and become a professional athlete.
