More DescriptionArthur is a talented young man who, after listening to the tales of his ancestors told by his
father, becomes surprised and moonstruck with their wonderful adventures. Everything begins in
Pernambuco in 1880, with the arrival of his great-great-grandmother Constance, a Spanish
woman who had come to get married to a rich farmer named Rodolfo, who died on the day before
their marriage. Rodolfo Filho blames Constance for his father's death and sentences her to live in
a brothel. At the brothel, Constance gets pregnant and secretly raises her son, Ângelo. By the age
of 14, he finds out about his remarkable senses and through them, he manages to escape the
brothel. Later, Ângelo finds out that Rodolfo Filho murdered his mother. The young man swears
to take his revenge and gets along with other teens motivated by the same purpose. After his
revenge, Ângelo meets a committed young native woman by the name of Ticináia. Ângelo leaves
for Spain without being aware of Ticináia's pregnancy. She delivers an extremely hairy baby boy
named Magno, but thanks to the magic of a sorceress, the hair problem is solved. Magno marries
Carmelita, and together they have twins, Márcio and Mauro. Carmelita dies right after the
delivery. Magno gets insane and dies. After the death of Ticináia, the twins get separated. Mauro
goes off aimlessly, and Márcio flees with a young gypsy named Saralina, Arthur's mother, who
dies after giving birth. Arthur graduates in Administration and opens a real estate agency. His
father dies as a victim of criminals. Arthur knows an agency of special detectives and becomes
one of them, he eccentrically uses the pseudonym of Kalixto and adopts a special dog as a
partner.
