Plot

[edit]

This is the story of three women with different motives who unite to seek revenge against a man. Amélia (Soraia Chaves), Jacinta (Maria João Luís), and Luísa (Joana Ribeiro) are known as "As Poderosas" (The Powerful Ones). Their target is José Maria (Rogério Samora). Each woman has her own personal reasons: Amélia witnessed her mother's death and seeks justice, Jacinta was deceived and unfairly imprisoned, and Luísa wants to protect her family and heritage. As they confront the cunning and dangerous side of José Maria, they encounter various obstacles that extend beyond him.

Amélia, the most cerebral and the group's leader, grapples with a haunting past that continues to affect her present. She creates an alter ego and assumes that role every day, enduring the oppressive control of José Maria, a constant reminder of the father who abandoned her. Forced to play the perfect secretary almost constantly, Amélia is torn between her thirst for justice and a newfound sacred duty. She must ultimately decide which force is more potent: revenge or blood ties.

Jacinta, the most mature of the trio, becomes an easy target for the villain. While a part of her desires justice, another side of her still holds affection for José Maria and dreams of a blissful family life in a countryside home. Caught between seeking revenge and embracing José Maria's love, Jacinta faces a difficult choice. She must determine which force holds more sway: revenge or her cherished dream.

Luísa, the youngest and most impulsive, is driven by the promise she made to her father on his deathbed: to protect their family, particularly her mother Marina (Margarida Marinho), who is blind to José Maria's true nature and has fallen under his spell. The weight of that promise burdens Luísa daily, even as she experiences the lightness of love from Dinis (Tomás Alves). Life seems to simultaneously pull her down and lift her up. Luísa is forced to make a decision: save her family and honor her father's memory or embrace a life of happiness with her true love. She must determine which force holds more power: revenge or love.

Though they pursue different goals and experience different emotions, Amélia, Luísa, and Jacinta find strength in their unity. Together, they possess the power to seek justice and dismantle the man who has caused them immense harm. Collectively, they can reshape the world. Will the combined will of these three women surpass destiny itself, or will destiny prevail as the ultimate force?
