Beschreibung

an amazing Brazilian is the intense, moving, and deeply human journey of a woman who crosses geographical, spiritual, and emotional borders to discover who she truly is. Born in Lisbon and baptized within family traditions, she leaves for Brazil at a young age, where a new life — filled with challenges, discoveries, and unexpected twists — begins to unfold. Amid childhood memories, unforeseen betrayals, and the struggle to adapt to an unfamiliar country, the protagonist finds strength in her studies, her work, and the arts. Her talent leads her from the theater to the cinema, and later to the United States, where she experiences both the peak and the weight of an artistic career. At the same time, she dives into profound reflections on love, forgiveness, spirituality, relationships, expectations, and the true meaning of life.

Lisbon, Portugal

February 9, 1909

A gale along with a heavy rain arrives in the city.  It was the beginning of a remarkably busy day for the Silveira family.  Renata Andrade Silveira and Marco André Silveira went hurriedly to the hospital because the first mentioned had severe stomach pains.  Nine months pregnant, the child seemed to be wanting to come into the world.

It was the culmination of nine months of preparation for the arrival of the couple's second daughter.  During pregnancy, the child danced and sang in the mother's belly.  What was that child predicting?  It was certainly not common for this to happen.

There, in the delivery room, were all the couple's expectations.  These were intense hours of pain, anxiety and love.  They were like drought in search of raindrops of hope.  I explain myself.  The financial issue along with some relationship problems had been facing the couple.  That girl seemed to solve the problems and seal the couple's union forever.

A loud scream is heard in the hospital.  Everyone is scared.  Marco enters the delivery room.  In his vision, he sees a beautiful and delicate girl frightened by the new environment.  He takes the girl in his arms, kisses her and hugs her.  He was proud of the man he was.  A hardworking and warrior man.  He promises yourself that you would strive to achieve your goals.

Renata Andrade Silveira

Isn't she beautiful, my love?  She has a nose like yours.

Marco André Silveira

I agree.  But her mouth is remarkably similar to yours.  She is the perfect union between our bodies.  It's a divine miracle.

Renata Andrade Silveira

What name can we give this creature?

Marco André Silveira

She will be called Adelaide Silveira.

Renata Andrade Silveira

It is a wonderful name.  I feel wonderful things will happen to her.

Marco André Silveira

For sure.  A child who sang and danced in his mother's belly is not common.  She will certainly be a talented artist.

Renata Andrade Silveira

Even if she is not an artist, she will always be our beloved daughter.  Parents should always love their children, whatever they are.

Marco André Silveira

I agree.  Father and mother love must be unconditional.

Renata Andrade Silveira

Let us go home.  I already feel better.

Marco André Silveira

She is well. The car is ready. I also have my commitments to keep.

  The mother is discharged, and they finally leave the hospital. Now a new cycle in the life of that wonderful couple began.

baptism day

  Three months after the child was born, baptism was scheduled. On the occasion, all family and friends were invited. One by one they arrived at the couple's house and filled the atmosphere with light, joy, and good vibes. One of the guests did not let go of the boy. It was the expert in white magic and spiritism, Teresa of God. She started to speak.

Teresa

Here is a child who will be a great international artist.  I see paths open for this creature. I see success, joys, and emotions in your journey. She was born singing and dancing from her mother's womb. She is already a prodigy. It is a pleasure to participate in this moment so important in her life that is baptism in the Christian religion.

Marco André Silveira

Thank God, cousin. I feel happy with your words. She is a smart and fated girl. I am sure she will be happy on her walk.  I will be with her encouraging and protecting. The role of a father is this.

Renata Andrade Silveira

I rejoice in it. I have taken a lot of work in her education and moral values. But I know it will be rewarding. I will strive increasingly for her to have references and the necessary comfort. She will be my pride and my love for her will be eternal.

Teresa

Glad she has you as a family base. This is critical in a child's development. You can also count on my support. I will be available for whatever you need. Many thanks to you for allowing me to participate in this especially important moment in her life.

Marco André Silveira

No need to thank, cousin. Your presence is especially important to us.

  The procession proceeds to the church. A small crowd moves through the Portuguese streets. A light rain falls which proves to be a good feeling. Sung by happy songs, the group approaches the temple. The priest and witnesses wait at the entrance to the church with a bouquet of red roses.

  Finally, they enter the temple, and the celebration begins.

Priest

My lord and my God, before us we have an innocent man to whom his parents have solemnly come to hand you over. I ask you, my God, protect this creature in every step. Put your angels in her path to free her from the enemy's snares. May she have a good walk on earth. May the paths of success and happiness be always present. May she be blessed in all her actions.

  Everyone in the place applauds and throws holy water on the child. At that time, it was a mixed happiness and nervousness with complete surrender to God. A greater symbol of protection from all dangers. God would coordinate all her steps towards good.

Emigration to Brazil

  The four members of the Silveira family were already in Porto. The couple and their two daughters. Along with them, the heavy suitcases. The reason for the sudden change was the economic crisis in Europe. The destination was Brazil, a developing country but considered by many as the country of the future.

  They climbed the steps towards the ship with extreme ease. His fast and voracious thoughts were focused on a better future. Expectation transcended all his good wishes. At the end of the ship, they find an unoccupied third-class room. It would be approximately twenty days of travel across the Atlantic Ocean. It was an unimaginable adventure for those who had never moved from their city.

The first day

  Renata Andrade Silveira was taking care of her daughters in her bedroom. Her husband went to help the sailors clean the ship. He did not do this out of obligation but because he liked to feel useful.

Sailor

What made you move from Portugal? You look sad to me.

Marco André Silveira

It was the fiscal crisis that ended up bankrupting my salon.  The little money that is left, I am going to invest in business in Brazil.  I have an obligation to maintain a good financial standard of living for my family.

Sailor

I understand. You have all my admiration. We are living in dark times. I wish you success and prosperity in the new country. You deserve.

Marco André Silveira

Thanks friend. I am going to need all the luck in the world.

  The morning's work continued. It was a quiet morning full of good air. Nothing could interfere with their happiness.

Telling stories

  The afternoon arrived. An agglomeration of people gathers in the center of the ship. A man named Peter Johnson, a storyteller, begins to speak:

“Jack was a great pirate of the north seas. It was famous for its looting, killing, and searching for treasure. He was simply fascinated by wealth and power. One of his reasons for coming to Rio de Janeiro was the famous treasure buried near the Sea of Angra dos Reis. An estimated amount of one million dollars between jewels and gold bars had been buried by the emperor at the time. Exactly where the treasure was buried was not known. It was just supposed to be near the coast of Angra dos Reis. Knowing this, he came with his team on a mighty cargo ship. They were experienced sailors capable of weathering storms at sea or even powerful enemies. That is how they arrived.  They started on the incessant search for treasure. It took about seven days and seven nights until one of the sailors found something. It was a large wooden coffin surrounded by precious stones. Without much ceremony, they opened the container. But unfortunately, they got a massive surprise. Instead of money, they find three giant snakes breathing fire. It was a curse. The sailors were annihilated, and their lives made history.  Therefore, greed never pays. Prefer to be poor than a millionaire because it is safer.

  Everyone laughs at the anecdote, but the legend made a lot of sense. In a world full of materialism and interest, nobility of character is undervalued. We live in a world unlike what it should be. We need to value charitable deeds, character, loyalty, charity, kindness, generosity, tolerance and equality.  We need to be fair and not judge other people. Because everyone has flaws and qualities. We need to accept the other as he is. We need to embrace Black people, love them and give them opportunities to study and work.  We need to welcome transsexuals and gay people into our family.  We need to accept their choices and take it for granted. We need to accept the poor and provide them with conditions for professional growth. We need to value the role of women, give them equal working conditions and importance in our family. People must have equal rights.  We need to accept each other's religious choice and respect them. God is everywhere and in all religions that practice good dogma. Anyway, we need to be ourselves to be able to truly be happy. Authenticity is the key to success.

 Continuing the story, everyone applauds the storyteller's performance. He tells many other stories to entertain the audience. It was a necessary leisure on this difficult sea crossing. The sea and its secrets. Who is capable of challenging him?  Imposing on the planet, occupying nearly seventy percent of the total volume, is the great giant of planet Earth.  It causes fear, wonder, anxiety, and enchantment. Who has never enjoyed the sunset on the beach and took a photo to keep a memory? Who has never flirted or met your great love at a beach party? Who has never done sympathies at the seaside at the end of the year? People ask for love and professional success, money and so many other things. But they forget that everything depends on their planning and effort. It is not fate that drives us, but exactly the opposite. We are experts in our destiny through our choices.  Many of our decisions are a one-way street. Do you know that trust that breaks? It is like broken crystal.  We can even forgive, but never forget. Because we are human, flawed and imperfect. Do not require for a pardon you cannot give.  If you forgive, do it for yourself. To be freer and to reach new horizons. When that happens, you will be prepared for a new cycle of life with more happiness and other opportunities. It does not matter your age.  Turning the key to your story is extremely important to your soul's evolutionary growth. Live your grief process, but do not stop living.  The memories of betrayal hurt and linger for years, but you cannot let go.  Allow yourself another opportunity to be happy. The universe provides billions of opportunities for us all. It is never too late to be happy.

Betrayal

Marco André Silveira slept quickly. Secretly, his wife had put a sleeping pill in the juice he had drunk. The daughter was also sleeping. She was now free to ride the ship and flirt with that delightful Black man she had met on the ship.  She was simply in love with his masculine way
