Captive

Synopsis



Poor and humble, Morena is a jobless girl living with her son Junior and mother Lucimar in the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. Motivated by the prospect of a better future and facing eviction, she accepts a job offer to work in Turkey for a few months. Her decision, however, not only ends her engagement to Theo, her lover who disapproves of her trip, but makes her a victim of an international human tracking ring which generates billions of dollars every year and managed by Livia, a seemingly irreproachable woman. As soon as she arrived in Turkey, the young girl is forced to work at a dreary nightclub where Russo, head of security and member of the ring, constantly intimidates young women by threatening to harm their families in Brazil. Despite being held captive, Morena refuses to accept her fate and decides to fight against the crime that victimized her. Together with her ill-fated companions, she counts on the help of Police Chief Heloísa to take down the ring’s villainous scheme. On top of such difficulties, Morena also has to deal with another challenging mission: to regain Theo’s love and trust. Theo still loves her but has since entered into a new romantic relationship and is determined to forget her.
