A Viagem

A Viagem (The Voyage) is a Brazilian TV soap opera produced by TV Globo. It was written by Ivani Ribeiro with the contribution of Solange Castro Neves, and directed by Wolf Maya, Ignácio Coqueiro and Andre Schultz. The soap first aired from April 11, 1994, until October 22 of the same year and includes 167 episodes. The twisted plot deals with the sorrows and hopes of ordinary people and their love or enmity with each other. Supernatural powers affect them until in the end peace and goodwill are restored. Synopsis Alexandre Toledo carries out an assault, during which he kills a man who surprises him. He manages to flee the spot, but his brother Raul and his brother-in-law Teodoro (Téo) turn him in to the police. On the other hand, Alexandre's sister and Téo's wife Diná tries to defend her brother. She seeks assistance with lawyer Otávio Jordão (and ultimately falls in love with him), but he refuses to help her because the victim was a good friend of his. Subsequently, Alexandre is condemned to a life sentence in prison. He commits suicide, prior to which he vows to retaliate those who helped to bring him thus far "in this life or another". As a ghost, he starts tormenting the others, especially Raul, whose marriage to Andreza he ruins. Alexandre's spirit is also responsible for Otávio dying in a car crash. In another subplot, Téo decides to leave Diná, because she holds him responsible for Alexandre's death. Téo becomes affected with Alexandre's former girlfriend Lisandra (Lisa) instead and marries her in the end.
