O Rebu (Literally English: The Fuss, International Title: The Party) is a Brazilian late night telenovela written by George Moura and Sérgio Goldenberg (based on Bráulio Pedroso's original story) and directed by José Luiz Villamarim. O Rebu's plot is loosely based on the 1974 telenovela of the same name, featuring an innovative narrative: the whole story takes place in 24 hours. In three different times, party, next day with the investigation and flashbacks with the suspects' past.{{cite web|url =http://kogut.oglobo.globo.com/noticias-da-tv/coluna/noticia/2013/08/george-moura-e-villamarim-dupla-repetira-parceria-em-o-rebu.html|title =George Moura e Villamarim: dupla repetirá dose em 'O rebu'|date =19 August 2013|language=pt|access-date=2013-12-19}}{{cite web|url =http://kogut.oglobo.globo.com/noticias-da-tv/coluna/noticia/2013/11/remake-de-o-rebu-vai-ao-ar-no-ano-que-vem.html|title ='Remake' de 'O rebu' vai ao ar no ano que vem|date =5 November 2013|language=pt|access-date=2013-12-19}}{{cite web|url =https://natelinha.uol.com.br/novelas/2014/03/16/sophie-charlotte-e-marco-pigossi-viverao-novo-casal-em-o-rebu-72693.php|title =Sophie Charlotte e Marco Pigossi viverão novo casal em 'O Rebu'|language=pt|access-date=2014-03-16}}

Plot

A luxurious reception is interrupted when a body is found floating in the pool. One thing is certain: the murderer is among the high society guests. The businesswoman Angela Mahler (Patrícia Pillar) is the party hostess celebrating her recent business success. She shares the spotlight with Duda (Sophie Charlotte), her “daughter at heart”, and the contractor Braga (Tony Ramos), her business partner and nemesis.

The celebratory mood is threatened by the arrival of Bruno (Daniel de Oliveira), an ambitious young man who became involved with Duda in order to gain access to confidential information from Angela's and Braga's companies—he knows he can use his power over her to achieve whatever he wants.

The guests have their own issues to solve as well such as betrayals, secrets, and cunning moves. The event ends up bringing enemies together under the same roof, like a powder keg ready to explode.

All of a sudden, Bruno's body is found, and what was once a party quickly becomes the scene of a despicable crime. Thus begins a frantic search for the murderer in an investigation led by the police officer Pedroso (Marcos Palmeira) and Rosa (Dira Paes), his right-hand woman. Trapped in the house and under the investigators’ crosshairs, all the guests are suspects. Who could be behind this mystery?[http://www.globotvinternational.com/prodDet.asp?prodId=225&catId= Globo - The Party]
