For those who transform absence into renewal, hope is born again...

While on a study abroad program in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Nanda meets Leo, with whom she falls madly in love, and the two experience moments of pure happiness until the day the young man has to return to Portugal at Eugénia's request, who insists on cutting off all contact between her son and the young woman. Shortly after, Nanda discovers she's pregnant with Leo's child, having never heard from him again, and doesn't have the courage to tell her family, especially her mother. Newlyweds Olívia and Sílvio, on their honeymoon in the Brazilian city, end up becoming Nanda's support as she, with her pregnancy advancing and no money, finds herself forced to return to Portugal. Marta rejects her daughter, but her father, Alex, and her brother Ricardo support her unconditionally. After a violent argument with her mother, Nanda ends up in a major accident and is taken, in critical condition, to the clinic where obstetrician Helena does everything to save both her and her babies... but the young woman ends up dying.
