APRESENTATION
The series will show, for the first time, the universe of Porto Alegre downtown. It’s a paradoxical region, where cosmopolitan multiculturalism is surrounded by a provincial aura. The picturesque characters who are part of this environment will be prominent in this investigative comedy that uses a light and humorous tone to bring to the audience a modern Romeo and Juliet style tale. In this story, a family of Italian descendants from a small town, who owns a 24/7 snack bar will have to, in their own way, investigate Laura’s disappearance, and overcome the shortage of chicken hearts – the main ingredient of their burgers.
SYNOPSIS
Laura leaves Roca Sales, a small town in Rio Grande do Sul, to study in the state capital. Her family, of Italian origins, own Roca Sales – Bar & Restaurant, open 24/7 in the heart of downtown Porto Alegre.
Dener is a young black man who lives with her sister in the south side and works in downtown at a competitor to Roca Sales. Something unusual happens when he doesn’t return home and his sister, in panic, embarks in a search for the boy.
Laura also disappears and her family ends up involved in an unusual investigation, trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together and find the girl in a maze where not everything is what it seems.
