Amor com Amor Se Paga(1984)

Amor com Amor Se Paga is a Brazilian comedy series centered on Nonô Corrêa, a miserly landlord who locks his refrigerator and pantry to ration his children Elisa and Tomaz's food, while ruthlessly raising rents on his tenants despite his hidden wealth. Only his confidant Anselmo knows the truth about Nonô's fortune. His long-suffering maid Frosina has endured his penny-pinching for over two decades. When an orphan boy named Zezinho enters Nonô's life, the hardened, neurotic man's heart begins to soften. The series explores themes of greed, redemption, and unexpected compassion as relationships test Nonô's miserly nature and challenge what truly matters in life.
