Opposite Lives tells the story of Miguel (Leo Rosa), a young rich man of a traditional family, and Joana (Maytê Piragibe), a student and tour guide who lives in a slum. Although Miguel is dating elegant, rich fashion designer Erínia (Lavínia Vlasak), he and Joana fall in love with each other and decide to get married. Everything goes well until Joana's old boyfriend Jackson (Heitor Martinez) leaves prison and decides that he wants to date her again. When he finds out about her new romance, he tries to force her back by taking Miguel hostage and threatening to kill him. Desperate, Joana unites with the people in the slums and the criminal is killed. This unleashes contradictory reactions: part of the society, authorities, and press consider Joana and Miguel heroes, but another part, influenced by corrupt policemen and partners of Jackson, accuses them of being drug dealers and swear to kill the couple. In this breathtaking landscape of Rio de Janeiro, enhanced by the touristic activities of several characters, Joana and Miguel's struggle to prove their innocence and escape from the pursuit of bandits and corrupt policemen will be a saga of adventure, romance, thrills, and excitement that bravely deals with the tragic social reality that exists in many countries.
