Aurora falls in love with a boy, Gonçalo Monforte, but she can't have a relationship, because she is God's and nobody else.
Gonçalo wants Aurora but Helena's craziness won't let this love have a happy ending.
Hortense had married 3 times until the beginning of the story and all of her past husbands called José, and they were all death.
Evangelina (Hortense's best friend) is the woman that will make Sebastião finally fall in love.
Evangelina came from a rich family, but they have lost it all and she is desperate to find a way of winning money to live a happier life.
There is someone killing people apparently without any reason, and the identity of the serial killer is not known before the last episode.
A lovely and scary story that makes us doubt about the world around us and mysteries life has in store to us.
