Cristiano Vilhena is a young man from the countryside who dreams of high society, risking his happiness alongside Simone.

It tells the story of the Camabará family for many generations, which were fundamental to the social and political formation of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The stories are remembered by Dona Bibiana, who remembers the life of her grandmother Ana, her husband, the Captain Rodrigo, his son Bolivar and his daughter-in-law Luzia.

The miniseries addresses the struggle of Pedro Arcanjo, guided by Magé Bassã, his holy mother, to protect African culture and integrate it into Brazilian society, creating a new culture. The plot takes place in the Bahian setting filled with the stories of the characters who intersect in Arcanjo's struggle: the friendship with Mestre Lídio, shaken when Rosa de Oxalá, his wife, falls in love with Archanjo; loves prohibited by the incompatibility of saints; the fight against the intolerance and racial prejudice of those in power.
