Sansão e Dalila (English: Samson and Delilah)[1] is a Brazilian miniseries produced and broadcast by RecordTV.[2] It premiered on January 4, 2011 and ended on February 2, 2011.[3] The series is based on the Book of Judges.
Sansão is a brave, strong, courageous man, a Hebrew who fights against many enemy armies of his people and wild animals; besides he keeps the mysterious secret of his strength. Born as the promise to be the liberator of his people, who were oppressed and persecuted. The triumph of Sansão reaches the ears of Dalila, a philistine woman who has an exuberant beauty and is very ambitious. She was chosen by Inarus, the prince of Gaza, to be another of the courtesans in his palace. In search of power, Dalila draws attention to being pretty and very soon becomes the favorite among all the courtesans. Sansão is unsurpassed, wins many battles and provokes the wrath of his main enemy, the Philistines. Prince Inarus is infuriated by every victory of the Hebrew warrior against his army so well armed and prepared that he allows Dalila to try to persuade Sansão to discover the secret of his strength.
