Carlos, his nephew, was already seeing himself sitting in the director’s chair of the import-export company’s Araujo Lda, and the heir of his estates. But his uncle’s life was hidding some secrets, wich will soon be revealed by his testament and by some recorded tapes for Graça, his illegitimate daughter, the unexpected heiress of ail his fortune. Gradually, Graça discovers the real personality of Napumoceno : an ambitious, clever, apportunist man… but also sensitive and passionate.
