Plot

«Quer o Destino» is a very Portuguese soap opera and possibly familiar to many who know the secrets that were buried in the estates of wealthy families in ancient Portugal. Margarida Rosa (Sara Barradas), in her teens, after being raped and watching her own father's murder, the innocent young woman ran away from the fear of being, herself, killed in the silence of Ribatejo. Now, transformed into a woman in arms, with the name of Vitória Santareno, she decides to leave the capital and return to her origins. The goal? Take revenge on the family of your rapists. Along the way, there is love and lack of love, there are lessons to overcome and many mirrors of the intrinsic human evil. Vitória will do many objectionable things but, despite having chosen a winding route, she proves to be able to overcome traumas, fears and enemies in the flesh.
