The scenarios, names and everything else were of a fictitious European kingdom named Avilan. But anyone could see that it was a satire of modern day (at the time) Brazil, with a layer or two of Alexander Dumas' world. While it gave a social/political criticism in-between the burlesque plot there was also space for romance, comedy, action, suspense, a bit of drama and many more. The basis of the story was the plot made by the newly widowed queen and the leaders of the nobles when they learn that the deceased King had a son outside the marriage. They choose a beggar to replace the unknown heir and teach him how to be a King, while the real heir of the throne is completely unaware of his heritage of course, after all being the leader of an anti-nobility group takes too much of his time... And kidnappings, betrayals, wrongful imprisonments, assassinations attempts... follows one after another and another. To try to summarize the whole action between the first five chapters and the last five ones would be really hard to do! The kind of soap-opera that sadly isn't produced anymore...
