Plot

[edit]

Son of successful businessman Teodoro (Ernani Moraes), the Tomato King "O Rei do Tomate", Teto's (Danilo Mesquita) life can be summed up as: the good life, money, the farm and women. Just as he is due to inherit his father's plantations and factories empire, Teto's life is turned upside down when he meets Paula (Giovanna Lancellotti), an independent and determined medical student.

As Teto's birthday party nears, his father tells him what his present is: a job. The traditional Festa do Tomate, with DJ Alok's special participation, is perhaps one of Teto's last opportunities to enjoy his peaceful life in his town. And it is in this electronic and country music festival that the lives of Teto and Paula cross.

Hoping to win the heart of the girl, and also wanting to prove his worth both to his father and himself, Teto lies about who he is, hiding his roots and pretending to be of humble beginnings. This is the first of many lies that gets him into trouble in Río de Janeiro. His best friend, Igor (Jaffar Bambirra), an agricultural worker, is his assistant in this romantic and chaotic adventure that also includes the human resources consultant of Trancoso, Alana (Fernanda Paes Leme), tough Monique. (Lellê), in addition to Paula's friends Raíssa and Kátia.
