P. 2
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…
Many other characters and stories take part in the Topíssima universe. A family
devastated by the death of their daughter in a clandestine abortion; young students
who must learn to live together in a student republic; a single father who struggles to
raise his daughter; the first love of a young couple and the dilemmas related to
virginity and love in old age are some of those stories.
