The Favorite (2008)

Flora was imprisoned for 18 years for the murder of her lover Marcelo. She has always pleaded not guilty, and now that her sentence is finished, she wants revenge. Her main target is Donatella, her former partner in a country-music duo--and Marcelo's widow. Flora blames Donatella not only for killing her own husband, but also for taking away Lara, the daughter Flora had with Marcelo. In the meantime, Lara grows aware that her natural mother is a murderer and cares for Donatella as her actual mom, despite having a strong temper and a very different personality. Everything is set in a small town nearby São Paulo, where the main powerful figure is that of Gonçalo Fontini, Marcelo's father, who owns a paper mill.
