Written by Thelma Guedes and Duca Rachid with artistic direction by Gustavo Fernandez, “Orphans of a Nation” has already been licensed to over 55 countries, and in 2020 it won the award for Best Telenovela at the 48th edition of the International Emmy. The telenovela was also awarded the Grand Prize at the 15th edition of the Seoul Drama Awards in 2020 and won the Rose D'Or Awards in the telenovela category in 2019.

In the plot, two Syrians need to leave their homeland and go to Brazil to rebuild their lives as refugees. Promised to the mighty Sheikh Aziz (Herson Capri, ‘Irrational Heart’), Laila (Julia Dalavia, ‘The Other Side of Paradise’) flees with her parents to São Paulo. However, Jamil (Renato Góes, ‘Dark Days), Aziz's godson, is sent to Brazil to take her back and force her to fulfill the marriage contract. Jamil ends up falling in love with Laila and the two decide to get married, arousing Aziz's wrath. With that, to live this love, they need to overcome many barriers. After the sheikh is mysteriously murdered, his daughter Dalila (Alice Wegmann, ‘Land of the Strong’ and ‘Dangerous Liaisons’) follows up her father's revenge plan, doing everything to separate the couple.

The telenovela had a technical partnership with the ACNUR (UN Agency for Refugees), which collaborated with information on the context of forced displacement and sociocultural integration of refugees. In addition, the cast also featured a Syrian refugee, Kaysar Dadour, who brought a real look to his character. In Brazil, Orphans of a Nation was an audience leader in the access primetime, with a 42% share and a daily reach of 25 million viewers.
