The read
The series ran 1 season across 30 episodes and has finished, so there is no cliffhanger risk.
Synopsis
The miniseries addresses the struggle of Pedro Arcanjo, guided by Magé Bassã, his holy mother, to protect African culture and integrate it into Brazilian society, creating a new culture. The plot takes place in the Bahian setting filled with the stories of the characters who intersect in Arcanjo's struggle: the friendship with Mestre Lídio, shaken when Rosa de Oxalá, his wife, falls in love with Archanjo; loves prohibited by the incompatibility of saints; the fight against the intolerance and racial prejudice of those in power.
