Plot
Christian and Christofer are twin brothers that were separated when their mother died shortly after they were born. Their father decides to give one up for adoption since he has no way to support two children, one of them with poor health. Elenice and José Renato adopt Christofer, who, unlike his brother, is healthy, and change his name to Renato. The twins' father turns Christian over to an orphanage. There Christian grows up and befriends Ravi despite the difference of ten years of age between them.
Eighteen years later, Christian leaves the orphanage with the promise of returning there in eight years to pick up Ravi, working as a cashier in a market and aiming to go to college. Meanwhile, Renato learns that he was adopted and confronts his adoptive mother. Elenice tells him that Christian and his birth father, Ernani (Márcio Vito), are dead. Christian fails the university entrance exam and decides to go in search of his father. The twins' paths begin to cross again when Christian sees a photo of his brother in the stands of a soccer stadium. Only in the meantime, Renato leaves the country. A decade later, they meet again and Renato decides to try to pay off a debt his brother owes to drug dealers but when he goes up to the slum alone and drunk, he ends up being mistaken for Christian and is killed. Christian decides to assume Renato’s identity.

Production
In January 2020, casting for the telenovela began. The following month, the first scenes began to be filmed in Prague, Czech Republic.[8] In March 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Globo suspended indefinitely production of the telenovela, which was scheduled to premiere in May.[9][10] Filming resumed in November 2020 under strict health protocols, and concluded on 24 September 2021.[11][12]

Premiering after more than a year of postponements and following the reruns of three telenovelas, Um Lugar ao Sol saw the worst pilot-episode rating for the traditional primetime slot. On 8 November 2021, it drew a rating of 25.2% and audience share (proportion of televisions turned on) of 38.7%, worse than the previous lows of a 30.6% rating and a 40.3% audience share set by A Lei do Amor on 3 October 2016.[13] Because all 107 episodes had been fully produced prior to broadcast, the showrunners will be unable to adjust the show to audience reception, although an alternate ending had been shot.[14]
The lowest rating for the timeslot in recent history was recorded for the eighth episode of Um Lugar ao Sol on 16 November 2021, which was delayed to 10:33 to 11:44 p.m. (BRT) because of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification match between the teams of Brazil and Argentina. Its rating of 15.6% was lower than the 16.2% figure scored by O Sétimo Guardião on 24 December 2018. Compared against the shows that aired on 16 November 2021, Um Lugar ao Sol, in a rare instance, fared worse than the competing RecordTV telenovela Gênesis, which aired as scheduled at 9:00 to 10:00 p.m. (BRT) and scored 15.8%. The rerun of Pega Pega aired by Globo at 7:05 to 7:45 p.m. (BRT) also had a higher rating of 19.9%. Um Lugar ao Sol only managed to be tied with Nos Tempos do Imperador, aired by Globo at 6:00 to 6:45 p.m. (BRT).[15]
