Plot

Set in Mooca, a simple neighborhood of São Paulo, the plot follows the life of Tancinha (Mariana Ximenes), a simple and clumsy girl who, having been raised in the traditional Italian family, holds a strong accent. For fifteen years she has lived a romance spiced up with the mechanic Apolo (Malvino Salvador), full of fights and reconciliations since both have strong personalities. Their love is shaken when she meets Beto (João Baldasserini), an advertiser willing to win her over with his charm and he shows a world of options outside her routine life. Tancinha is the eldest daughter of Francesca Di Marino (Marisa Orth), a marketer who alone, raised her four children: the gentle Giovanni (Jayme Matarazzo), the envious Carmela (Chandelly Braz) and the long-suffering Shirlei (Sabrina Petraglia), as well as Tancinha. Francesca never accepted the mysterious disappearance of her husband, Guido (Werner Schünemann), and suspected that the businessman Aparício (Alexandre Borges) was linked to the event after finding some clues, with the help of Tancinha.
