Salve Jorge

Salve Jorge (Literally: Hail George, International title: English: Brave Woman) is a Brazilian primetime telenovela created by Glória Perez and directed by Marcos Schechtman.

It premiered on 22 October 2012 replacing Avenida Brasil and ended on 17 May 2013 on TV Globo at the 9 p.m. timeslot, and being followed by Amor à Vida.

A total of 179 episodes of 55 minutes (35 minutes on Wednesdays due to the 20122013 Football season broadcast) were produced and aired Mondays to Saturdays. However, when syndicated and sold to other countries the telenovela got the number of episodes reduced to 140 and the duration fixed at 45 minutes.

Starring Nanda Costa, Giovanna Antonelli, Carolina Dieckmann, Rodrigo Lombardi, Cláudia Raia, Flávia Alessandra, Alexandre Nero, Cléo Pires and Domingos Montagner.

In Istanbul, Turkey, 18-year-old Morena (Nanda Costa) is auctioned by a group of wealthy and successful men. She ended up being sold for a U$3.500 bid. The next scene shows Morena running desperately through the streets, screaming for help. The scene flashes back to eight months earlier.

Morena is a single-mother who lives with her four-year-old son Junior (Luiz Felipe Mello) and her mom Lucimar (Dira Paes) helps her to support him. Though unemployed, she manages to garner strength and resolve in order to forge her own path.

Following the 2010 occupation of the Complexo do Alemão by the Brazilian Army, Morena meets Theo (Rodrigo Lombardi), a cavalry officer who is charmed by her spontaneity and sensuality. They fall in love, unaware that love does not conquer all.

Motivated by the prospect of a better future and facing eviction, Morena accepts a job offer to work in a coffeehouse in Istanbul for a few months. Her decision, however, not only ends her engagement to Theo, who disapproves of her trip, but leads to her being a victim of an international human trafficking ring.
