Plot Raquel Accioli is an upright woman of humble origins who lives with her father, Salvador, in Foz do Iguaçu. Accompanying her is her daughter, Maria de Fátima Accioli, a cold and unscrupulous young woman who abhors poverty and aspires to be rich and successful at any cost. When Salvador dies, Maria de Fátima sells the family's only property, which is in her name, without informing her mother and moves to Rio de Janeiro with the goal of achieving social ascension by infiltrating the city's upper class. After discovering her daughter's whereabouts, Raquel travels to Rio in search of her, where she meets business administrator Ivan, with whom she falls in love. The two develop a relationship, while Raquel starts selling sandwiches on the beach to survive.
While Raquel honestly struggles to climb the social ladder, Maria de Fátima allies herself with model and gigolo César Ribeiro, a scoundrel who encourages her to seduce young Afonso Roitman, one of the richest heirs in the country and son of the powerful businesswoman Odete Roitman, director of the Transcontinental Airlines (TCA) company, who considers herself superior to everyone and hates living in Brazil. Maria de Fátima pretends to be a friend of Afonso's girlfriend, content producer Solange Duprat, to steal her boyfriend and become a member of high society. The Roitman family didn't expect Odete's return to the country after a period abroad. Arrogant, prejudiced, and authoritarian, Odete manipulates her children's lives and humiliates all her subordinates and people of lower social class than her own. The one who suffers most from her mother's actions is Heleninha Roitman, a sensitive and insecure visual artist who sees her career crumble as she succumbs to alcoholism, damaging her relationship with her family.

Production On 7 August 2023, journalist Valmir Montarelli, from Veja magazine, announced that TV Globo was preparing a remake of the 1989 telenovela Vale Tudo, created and written by Gilberto Braga, Aguinaldo Silva and Leonor Bassères, in celebration of the network's 60th anniversary and the 75th anniversary of Brazilian television. In addition, Vale Tudo would be the third remake of the "9 PM slot" and the fourth of the 2020s, after Pantanal, Elas por Elas and Renascer. On 26 August 2023, TV Globo confirmed Manuela Dias as the writer of the remake. The remake also responds to a need of the network, since the material of the original telenovela would be too outdated for current times, which made it impossible to rerun it in 2022 in the programming block, and to export it to foreign markets. Originally, Vale Tudo was set to be an exclusive Globoplay production with 60 episodes and would be adapted by Lucas Paraizo. Paulo Silvestrini was chosen to direct the telenovela after the success of Vai na Fé, while Sérgio Marques, a writer who has worked on many of Braga's telenovelas, was rehired to help with the scripts. Filming began on 25 November 2024, with the first scenes being shot in Foz do Iguaçu at the Iguaçu Falls.
