The absolute strongest point of "O Cravo e a Rosa" is the electric chemistry between the leads. Adriana Esteves gives a career-defining performance as Duda. She manages to portray a character that could have been unlikable—aggressive and stubborn—as a sympathetic, intelligent woman fighting against the constraints of a patriarchal society.
Julião Petruchio, a rugged farmer, needs money to save his family's debt-ridden farm. He is convinced to court Catarina Batista, a wealthy but strong-willed "feminist" who has vowed never to marry. o+cravo+e+a+rosa+novela+completa+2021
