Helena (Regina Duarte) is a sweet, honest, sensitive and very warlike woman who faces the untimely severity of her daughter Joyce (Carla Marins), who in turn is abandoned by her boyfriend, the irresponsible Caio (Ângelo Paes Leme). The biggest problem is the girl's father, Assunção (Nuno Leal Maia), Helena's ex-husband, who tries to blame his daughter's pregnancy on Helena's morals.
Single and alone, Helena arises a passion for endocrinologist Carlos Alberto (José Mayer), and has her feelings matched. But Carlos is committed to a possessive Paula (Carolina Ferraz), madly in love with him, who suffers from constant bouts of jealousy. Her parents, Zuleika (Eva Wilma) and Rômulo (Cláudio Correia e Castro), are looking forward to or marrying their daughter with Carlos, who will save the family from financial decline.
But Carlos is the kind of man that as women really do not forget. Even married to Paula and in love with Helena, he is still besieged by ex-wife Sheyla (Lília Cabral), who does not like to have lost him and dreams of a rapprochement.
