Éramos Seis is a Brazilian period drama telenovela produced by SBT and originally broadcast from May 9 to December 5, 1994. Based on the 1943 novel of the same name by Maria José Dupré, it was adapted by Sílvio de Abreu and Rubens Ewald Filho, with direction by Henrique Martins and Del Rangel and general direction by Nilton Travesso. The telenovela stars Irene Ravache, Othon Bastos, Jandir Ferrari, Tarcísio Filho, Luciana Braga, and Leonardo Brício. Set in São Paulo between the 1920s and 1940s, the story follows Dona Lola, a devoted wife and mother who struggles to keep her family together despite financial hardship and personal tragedy. As her four children—Carlos, Alfredo, Isabel, and Julinho—grow into adulthood, each follows a different path shaped by love, ambition, and loss. Through decades of sacrifice and resilience, Lola witnesses the joys and sorrows of family life while enduring profound changes that ultimately leave her to reflect on a lifetime of devotion.
