the kidnappings
Despite all the success with the Sunday programs, Silvio’s life takes a different turn when the media spotlight turns to one of the Abravanel family’s most dramatic moments: the kidnapping of his daughter Patrícia.
He, in turn, needs to deal with his television channel, problems with the Silvio Santos Group and his marriage to Íris, while trying to solve the kidnapping on his own, without imagining that his own life is at risk – since he would also come to be kidnapped by the same criminal.
