There is also Lázaro (João Vicente de Castro), Gui's childhood friend and manager of both Gui and Leo. Lázaro has been in love with Diana since he was young thus he is envious of Gui. In the middle of several conflicts, Gui meets ballet teacher Julia (Nathália Dill). Julia became a fugitive, after being used by her boyfriend Alex (Caio Paduan) to smuggle drugs to the United States. Julia trusts confides to the Gui. This later leads him into confusion about what he feels for his wife and the newly met lass.
