Synopsis
Luíza (Priscila Reis) and Valentina (Priscila Buiar) are law students and classmates, but from completely different worlds. Luíza sees in Valentina all the flaws she believes a person can have, and despises her. One day, however, Luíza wakes up ten years older and, to her horror, married to Valentina. Having suffered a trauma that led to dissociative amnesia, she does not remember her marriage or her son Léo (Thomás de Araújo). In this process, she must rediscover herself, while Valentina seeks to win back her wife.
