Set in the 18th and 19th centuries, the miniseries draws on historical events to portray the behind-the-scenes story of Brazil's independence, blending humor and adventure.

A romantic comedy revolving around the life of three former child stars that wish to relive their fame after the end of their childhood musical group, Magic Bunch. Now in the fun-filled 90's, fate reunites the trio formed by Manu and the brothers João and Jerônimo. It also brings back the love between the aspiring young actress and João, as well as the rivalry between their disagreeing mothers. At the same time, fueled by his dubious character and jealousy towards the new couple, Jerônimo will do anything to bring back his days of glory, even if it means jeopardizing his own family.

Ricardo Aguillar, a powerful physician, loses the only and beloved son, the young Daniel, in an accident. After some time he discovers that the boy had frozen the semen before he died. From there he decides to go hunting for the "ideal woman", worthy of being inseminated and become the mother of his grandson. Only fate is about to play a part. When the insemination is finally done and the young woman chosen - the young Viviane - becomes pregnant, the man discovers himself hopelessly in love with her. From then on an unusual and surprising situation will give an electrifying direction to the story: the boy's spirit begins to prowl the family and, although they are in different plans, father and son will dispute the love of the same woman. It will be a clash between the impossible love, therefore idealized, and the realizable love, carnal, with all that it brings of joy and fulfillment, but also of hurts and uncertainties.
