thanks so much for posting... this video is greate, really great. I can't stop watching it... and as everyone's said, leila and rafaela really are an exquisite couple. one of my favourites ever.... shame they had to be killed.
¡GRACIAS! Por publicar este maravilloso video. Vi la telenovela y adoré la historia de Christiane y Silvia. Es más, sólo por ellas la veía. Las dos son tan bellas como talentosas. Lamenté mucho cuando las "mataron" en la telenovela. Hay mucho "feeling" entre ellas.
Once again congratulations verohayes.Great "research"work...it"s been a lifetime since i recall this novela(soap).They were a delicious and exquisite couple (with their dedicated buttler:-)
Indeed this couple was a milestone in Brazilian Tv..regretable not so much in Portugal ;>and all it"s conservative society,too.
Thank You so much Vero, I know you really took much time in replying me, that's what I appreciate about you. Now at least I have an idea what it's all about. Rafaela and Leila played by very good actors, especially Rafaela, oh she is fantastic!!!
It's portuguese -- I've been searching it with subtitles but no such luck.
'Babel Tower' is a brazilian soap opera aired in the late 90s (if I'm not mistaken). Very polemical and controversial at the time, mainly due to this lesbian couple.
Never been to brazil, but from what I've been told, let me see if I can recap the importance of this couple in brazilian tele-dramaturgy:
Rafaela is a successful fashion designer, Leila was a model but now runs the business along with her wife (only going back to the catwalk occasionally when Rafaela presents a new collection). So, besides sharing a bed, they share a business -- which is to say they literally share life with each other.
The emotional fulfillment is evident in their long term relationship. Due to controversy and censorship, the relationship was portrayed very subtly... leaving the best part to one's imagination.
Also, due to network pressure, the author made them die in an explosion, still at the beginning of the plot. Despite all, rafela and leila are a milestone in brazilian entertainment. I believe after this, things became easier... although Brazil still has a very conservative society.
You're more than right...after them, here in Brazil, we could have more homossexual couples on TV like "Clara e Rafaela", "Jennifer e Leo" .. without having to kill them =)
It's still hard to our "conservative" society to agree with this kind of thing, but people are starting to understand.

You're more than welcome!
But she really is fantastic, isn't she?
I'm getting to know her work... she's fascinating me. One of the best actress I've ever seen.

Verohayes, help! what language is this? I've watched like 30+ clips from your site and still don't know what is going on, I'm painfully frustrated!
