I have recently watched Vitória, a Brazilian soap opera. Some people here mentioned the show on this thread years ago, but I would love to bring it up again . The plot is what you could expect from a soap opera, but the performance to me is one of the "better ones" (of course it would never be perfect until they hire a real pwd). Bruno Ferrari, the actor who played this character, did a lot of research and worked with a physiotherapist to learn about paraplegia. I only watched some clips of the protagonists that fans in Brazil posted on Youtube, but that's enough to get a glimpse of the entire story. Unfortunately, the show is only in Portuguese and I had to use a lot of google translate to understand what's going on.
Synopsis from IMDB:
Artur, the rich young owner of Arminho Ranch, holds a grudge against his alleged father Gregório. When he was 12, Artur who was baptized as Mossoró, became paraplegic after he fell off a horse his father gave him. Gregório who never managed to cope with this tragedy and ended up rejecting Mossoró. Clarice is Artur's mother, Gregório's first wife, who teaches at the Priscila Schiller school. She can't live with the troubled relationship between her son and her husband and decides to run away with her firstborn to Curacao, hiding the secret of his father's identity for years until, realizing Artur's thirst for vengeance, she reveals that Gregório is not his biological father. But this doesn't alleviate his hate, and he commits his mother to a psychiatric hospital so she won't get in the way of his revenge. Clarice eventually becomes addicted to medications. Dominated by his desire for vengeance, Artur returns to Brazil to implement his plan to destroy the Training Center Ranch Altacyr Ferreira, Gregório's property, where he spent his youth. Diana was born from Gregório's second marriage and is Mossoró's sister. Both are children of Gregório's now-deceased second wife. Diana inherited her father's passion for horses. She is disturbed by the thought that she committed incest with Artur, who is not really her brother. While going through this psychological torture, she has an affair with Raphael, creating a love triangle full of emotions, intrigues and revenges.
This is a clip when the main protagonists (Diana and Arthur) meet each other for the first time and Diana learns that Artur uses a wheelchair.
This is the first part of a set of 100 clips a fan captured from the show.
