Synopsis[]
In 1930 in Poços de Caldas, the naive Elisa, daughter of the wealthy Matias and Violeta, falls in love with Davi, a circus magician who dreams of becoming a great illusionist. Without approving his daughter's lover, Matias wants Davi dead, but his daughter ends up dying accidentally and the magician is sentenced to 20 years in prison for a murder he didn't commit.
Ten years later, the family lives in Campos dos Goytacazes, where Matias has become an embittered and psychologically unstable man, while Violeta has become a strong woman and partner with Eugênio at Tecelagem Tropical, with whom she begins to live a forbidden romance despite the ambitious Úrsula, who was always rejected by the widower.
The couple's youngest daughter, Isadora, reaches the age of 18, physically similar to Elisa, but with a modern personality, dreaming more of becoming a stylist than getting married. She dates the arrogant Joaquim, who is manipulated by his mother, Úrsula, who sees in her son the opportunity to put her hand in the Camargo fortune. Meanwhile, Davi manages to escape from prison and arrives in the city under the identity of Rafael hoping to prove his innocence, but his plans are put to the test when he and Isadora fall in love and he has to face not only Joaquim, Úrsula and Matias, but the dilemma of telling who you really are to your loved one.
Isadora's aunt, Heloísa is a bitter and arrogant woman who wants to end her father's ingenuity, Afonso, for never having forgiven him for giving her newborn daughter up for adoption as the result of a romance with a married man.
Father Tenório and the union leader Olívia live in conflict with Joaquim for better working conditions for the weaving employees, but their approach awakens a forbidden passion between them and confuses the priest about his vocation. Emília is a housekeeper who always dreamed of becoming a radio singer, but never had the support of her aggressive husband Cipriano, becoming Enrico's lover, who helps her in her career. Constantino is the powerful owner of the casino, who represses his daughter Arminda's romance with the poor Inácio. Margô soon arrives in town, a cold and mysterious starlet looking for clues from the past, and her goddaughter Iolanda, an ambitious girl who becomes Joaquim's lover and helps to harm Davi.
