Donatela and Flora, two friends who became rivals. One of them
committed a homicide and pretends to be innocent. There are two
versions for the same story. Who, after all, is telling the truth?
Donatela or Flora?
Donatela and Flora grew up together. Donatela lost her parents in an
accident and ended up being adopted by Flora's family. By the time they
were children, the two girls were best friends to the point of starting
a country band, “Faísca e Espoleta” (Flash and Fusee). The partnership
made a reasonable success at the time, but the career was interrupted
after they met friends Marcelo and Dodi, to whom they became engaged.
Donatela married Marcelo, Gonçalo Fontini's son, heir of a paper and
cellulose corporation, while Flora married Dodi, an unscrupulous man
who worked for his friend's father.
However, Donatela and Marcelo's happiness didn't last too long. The
couple's first son, Matheus, was kidnapped when he was six months old,
never to appear again. Since then the couple started to discuss very
often. In the meantime, Flora and Dodi splited up and she had an affair
with Marcelo. She gave birth to Lara, daughter to Marcelo, harming even
more his relationship with Donatela and mostly the relationship between
the two friends.
In the worst period of the crisis between Donatela and Flora,
Marcelo was murdered. He was shot three times with a gun that,
according to witnesses, was in Flora's possession. She was arrested and
sent to jail for eighteen years. Donatela, despite of not forgiving
Flora for the treason and for killing the love of her life, raised Lara
with the love of a true mother.
Eighteen years later, after being released from prison, Flora starts
trying to prove her innocence, blaming Donatela for the crime she has
already paid for. Donatela fears that Flora may want to take her
beloved daughter Lara away. Lara becomes the target of the dispute
between the two women, who were once friends. While Flora tries to get
her daughter back, Donatela will do everything she can to stop her.
