In Europe, at the end of the 19th century, social policies sent thousands of immigrants out of their countries. A Spaniard, a Portuguese, and an Italian seek new opportunities in the new country, without imagining the difficulties along the way.

Millionaire Ingrid Von Herbert comes to Brazil to search for her missing son, who was taken from her in Italy by the child's father during World War II. Here, she meets and falls in love with mechanic Fran, but resists this love because she suspects he might be her son. There are other suspicions, but this mystery persists throughout the plot. An unusual event changes the course of the story: Fran's father, Sandro, has his car sabotaged and dies in an accident.

The plot unfolds across two distinct worlds: Dr. Cristiano Navarro’s hospital and an impoverished neighborhood on the outskirts of São Paulo. While doctors at the hospital fight to save lives using state-of-the-art medical technology, young Emanuel—living in the neighborhood—demonstrates the ability to perform miraculous, extraordinary healings with just the touch of his hands. Dr. Cristiano is married to Linda, a wealthy, refined woman twenty years his junior. They long for a child but have been unable to conceive. Linda consults Dr. Paula, a renowned gynecologist, but the doctor cannot resolve their issue. Linda then decides to seek help from Emanuel, sparking a series of conflicts with her husband. However, things are far from ideal in Emanuel’s neighborhood. He possesses paranormal abilities that sometimes manifest in ways beyond his control. An enigmatic and unpredictable man, Emanuel fears his own powers.

Zezé is a poor, intelligent, sensitive, and needy six-year-old boy. He lacks affection, which he doesn't find in his family – nobody has much patience with him. The mischievous little boy roams the streets getting into all sorts of trouble. He learns everything on his own; he's a "discoverer of things." He realizes that life has joys, like having a friend, and also sorrows, like when a friend leaves forever. One of his greatest surprises is realizing he can sing without opening his mouth – that is, he can think of a song and let it play in his head.

The traditional Taques Penteado clan is intimately linked to the history of São Paulo itself and is considered a significant representative of the São Paulo business world. Ill, Cândido Taques, brother of the matriarch Guilhermina Taques Penteado, lived isolated from everyone on the third floor of the family mansion in the elegant Jardim Europa neighborhood. Cândido's death puts the clan members on alert, awaiting his inheritance: a large fortune in cash, jewels, and stocks. The dispute over the inheritance, in an environment dominated by Guilhermina, and the game of interests among heirs unleash several conflicts, generating an atmosphere of oppression. The characters reveal themselves through their greater or lesser commitment to gaining access to the fortune. Some show no scruples whatsoever in obtaining it, while others, more skillful and diplomatic, resort to less petty means: they seek, for example, to take advantage of a close relationship with the matriarch.

Late 19th century, shortly before the Abolition of Slavery. On the Santa Júlia Farm, located in the municipality of Rio Verde, in the interior of São Paulo state, lives Colonel Agenor Dias de Souza with his wife Cândida and their two daughters, Leonor and Luíza, in a mysterious environment haunted by ghosts of the past. A tragedy hides a great mystery, because of which the only witness, Cândida, became paralyzed and mute. Always doubting his wife, Agenor doesn't believe that Luíza is, in fact, his daughter. Therefore, he maintains a morbid relationship with Cândida, without caring about increasing her suffering. The colonel's doubt will be clarified when the secret, contained in the diary hidden in the clock case, is revealed. In this whole plot, a third person is fundamental: Laura, who pretends to be Cândida's friend, but is not.

'Abolição' shows how much the liberation of the enslaved transformed the structures of Brazilian society, both in the countryside and in the city, and the changes generated in the lives of black people themselves. The narrative is centered on the period in which the Lei Áurea was about to be signed by Princess Isabel, on May 13, 1888. At that time, the abolitionist theme was widely discussed in urban centers, while in rural areas slavery relations were still established. The enslaved Iná Inerã, spiritual leader and warrior, represents the fight to maintain African identity at any price, paid with her own life, if necessary. Journalist Lucas, in turn, is a freed black man who believes in peaceful integration between whites and blacks.
