Topíssima brings the struggles of a modern

                                                       woman to the surface: work versus love life;
                                                       independence versus solitude; maternity
                                                       versus career; aging versus aesthetics; illegal
                                                       abortion versus deaths and countless other
                                                       questions that involve not just women but also
                                                       men. Beside issues inherent to the feminine
                                                       universe, we have an ongoing police

                                                       investigation full of twists and turns involving
                                                       the main characters.

                                                       The plot is built on four pillars: romance, police
                                                       investigation,  drama  and  humor. A police
                                                       tragicomedy?      An    investigative    romantic
                                                       comedy?  Think  of  a  palette  of  intense,  soft,
                                                       bright,  dark, mysterious, happy, sad, delicate

                                                       and aggressive colors… TOPÍSSIMA!
                                                       As powerful as the sun, the rich and vain Lara
               Alencar meets her daughter, Sophie, who lives in a luxury hotel on Niemeyer Avenue.
               Lara wants her daughter to sign a document that forces Sophia to get married in one
               year in order to keep her newly achieved position as president of the Alencar Group,
               a wide  network of universities inherited by Lara.   Sophia reacts furiously, she is

               passionate about her job and won´t admit being forced to marry. She is a staunch
               feminist!
               But she has no alternative, after raging out, she ends up signing the document,
               accepting the condition to marry within a year time. Lara is relieved, she has always
               been  suspicious  of her  half-brother,  Paulo  Roberto,  who  until  now  was  the
               institution´s president. She has no proof  but thinks that he made his wealth by
               stealing from the Alencar Group. Lara, at first, doesn´t suspect that Paulo Roberto is

               more than corrupt, but she is wrong…

               devastated by the death of their daughter in a clandestine abortion; young students

               raise  his  daughter;  the  first  love  of  a  young  couple  and  the  dilemmas  related  to
