A Protegida

2025 · 1 season

A long-running rural soap that ambles along with family feuds, romances and betrayals, easy to dip into and undemanding to follow.

Overview: In the heart of the Alentejo countryside, Mariana and José Diogo are two children whose backgrounds could not be more different: she is the fruit of a loving relationship; he's an orphan. She has a safe haven in her family to run to when she gets hurt; he can only run to her.
How it feels: Melancholic, romantic, earnest and warm. Measured and fine in the background.
About: Family, love, class, betrayal
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
