THE ART OF REBUILDING SAMARIA

To bring the Samaria of *"Amor em Ruínas"* to life, the production built a set city covering more than 4,000 square meters, using new filming locations. Each set was developed to reconstruct, in rich detail, a city that was once a symbol of power and prosperity, from its bustling streets to its palaces, markets and workshops, which reveal the contrast between wealth and decay.

In front of the cameras, a cast of more than 230 actors and guest performers brings this world to life, dressed in more than 4,300 costumes designed especially for the production. Counting sets, props, sculptures, utensils and decorative elements, more than 100,000 pieces were handmade, many molded in plaster, resin and other materials to ensure authenticity and visual richness in every detail.

THE SOUNDTRACK THAT SETS THE STORY'S RHYTHM

Completing this atmosphere is "Love in Ruins", the series' official opening theme, performed by Banda Universos and released on all digital platforms simultaneously with the premiere. The composition was created to translate the narrative's intensity into music and reinforce the feelings driving every episode.

Alongside the opening song, the production features an original score, composed specifically to accompany the characters' journey. Each composition enters the scene at precisely the right moment, heightening the tension, conflicts and moments of connection between the characters.

Sergio Marone, meanwhile, plays Amit, a powerful man in Samaria and owner of the city's prestigious textile workshop, responsible for dressing royalty itself. His political and economic influence places him at the center of the plot's main conflicts.
