Telhados de Vidro (literally Glass Roofs) was a Portuguese telenovela produced by Atlântida Estúdios for TVI, written by Rosa Lobato de Faria.[1] It was the channel's first national telenovela and the first such production for a private television channel in Portugal.[2]
Plot
The Duarte Santos family faces financial difficulties and Catarina thinks of becoming a nurse again. She calls her friend Joana, putting him in contact with António Cortesão Vaz, the aging owner of Vazotel. With Zé Maria weighing in on the financial downturns, Carolina decides to take care of the businessman. Ricardo receives an envelope with money from Arlindo and Suzete. At Vaz's company, Cláudia is replaced by Rosário, which Maria Clara didn't like. Cláudio Vaz shows an interest in Carolina and asks Jorge Malheiros to talk to the lawyer. Cortesão Vaz dies of an illness, leaving the presidency of Vazotel at stake. His death is celebrated by Maria Clara and Viriato, while Joana and Henrique discuss the future of the company, with the latter likely becoming the new president. After Vaz's funeral, Maria Clara's behavior changes, insulting Rosário and threatening her to quit, owing everything to Henrique.[3]
