Cacau full story
The life of Cacau, a fearless and intrepid 22-year-old who lives with her Portuguese parents, Joaquim and Filomena who work as stewards for Justino Vaz Pereira on a cocoa plantation in Itacaré, Brazil, takes a tumultuous turn when her father unveils a long-held secret – Cacau is the daughter of the plantation owner Justino with another woman, Chiquinha. And she’s his heir.
This revelation sparks a series of intrigues and conflicts that threaten the family’s legacy and Cacau’s future. But she isn’t alone because Tiago loves her.
