In 1934, two supposed brothers survived an avalanche in the Himalayas: the millionaire Franz Hauser (Bruno Gagliasso), who is saved by Buddhist monks, and Manfred (Carmo Dalla Vecchia), rescued by a team of climbers. Manfred returns to Brazil with a terrible secret: he sabotaged Franz’s equipment in order to take his place in the family business. After an exhaustive search, Ernest Hauser gives his son up for dead and appoints his bastard son as the director of the Hauser Group.
In the monastery, Franz becomes close friends with the spiritual leader Ananda (Nelson Xavier) and before his return home, the monk promises him that they will meet again in the future. Franz's family is thrilled with his return but Manfred, with his plans thwarted, begins scheming again to eliminate Franz once and for all.
Through a twist of fate, Franz meets the worker Amélia (Bianca Bin), a former girlfriend of one of the climbers who went with Franz and Manfred on the expedition. The two fall in love and, despite family opposition and Manfred's schemes, they stay together and have a daughter, Perola (meaning "Pearl", a very common name in Brazil; played byMel Maia). Framed in a plot, Amélia is sentenced to jail and so, the child ends up in the custody of her paternal family.
With the death of the monk Ananda, his disciples set out to look for the person who they believe is to be his reincarnation. All signs point to Perola, and upon receiving the news, she is eager to begin her studies at the monastery. It is she who will solve the issues that have been preventing her parents' union.[1]
For theHimalayan scenes, thePrecious Pearl crew spent 20 days in Nepal shooting in the cities ofKathmandu,Patan andBhaktapur. They also shot inBungamati, which is a 16th-century village, as well as at the Golden Temple, and at the Shechen Monastery. The production crew used around 60 local extras. Many objects were acquired inNepal, particularly incense stick holders, bed linens, prayer objects and wooden bowls used by monks, were used for the telenovela set design, at Globo's studios in Rio de Janeiro (Projac).
The 1930s and 1940s were recreated at Globo's production center to allow audiences to dive into the atmosphere ofPrecious Pearl. Two scenic cities were created, adding up to a total of 8,000 square meters, in addition to approximately 60 studio scenarios. In the Lapa set, a cable car strolls through a 70-meter long rail, built exclusively for the telenovela.[2]
