They establish the alternative community, Arco da Aliança, in the interior of Goiás and adopt the names of Hanuman and Kalinda. They have a daughter, Cristal (Sandy), whose godfather is workaholic Tony (Guilherme Fontes), Bob's former co-worker. Years later, Cristal is something of a leader in Arco da Aliança, but has to deal with the unexpected death of her parents in a mysterious fire. As a minor, she must move in to her godfather's house in Rio de Janeiro. In addition to the difficulties of adjusting to the city, Cristal finds herself in love with her godfather, who struggles with his feelings for his goddaughter as immoral.

Production

In 2000, TV Globo decided to try a telenovela for a younger audience in the 6 p.m. timeslot, which until then had been occupied by period dramas or contemporary dramas of a more serious nature, the reason being to retain the young viewers that stopped watching the network after the end of Malhação , a teen soap opera that aired before the 6 p.m. telenovela. [6] At the time, Walcyr Carrasco was already writing the next telenovela for the timeslot, A Padroeira , which would debut in June 2001, with Ana Maria Moretzsohn having to write a plot of only three months, not having the option of extending the telenovela, both because of Sandy's busy schedule in music, and the ongoing production of the next telenovela. Due to the good reception with the audience, other telenovelas aimed at a young audience were later produced, such as Coração de Estudante and Agora É que São Elas . [6]

According to Ana Maria Moretzsohn, the telenovela was written specifically for Sandy to play the lead role, since she wanted the singer to present a different image than the comedic one she portrayed in the Sandy & Junior television series. [3] To bring the character Cristal to life, Sandy learned to chant mantras and also had to slow down the rhythm of her speech and breathing. [7]
