Main plot
Carlão is a cab driver who experiences a drama of conscience after fleeing bank robbers leave a suitcase of stolen money in his car: he doesn't know whether to hand it over to the police, at the risk of being accused of being an accomplice to the robbery, or to use the money to solve his problems. He is Lucinha's fiancé, with whom he has a passionate relationship, but one that is marred by fights and jealousy due to his machismo.
Lucinha is a young dreamer who works as a weaver at Centauro, a clothing factory owned by industrialist Salviano Lisboa. Chosen to star in an advertising campaign, she begins to make a name for herself as a model under the name Luci Jordan. Her movement through more sophisticated environments, combined with Carlão's rudeness, distances her from the reality of the Méier suburb, leading her to get involved with Salviano, a gentle and sensitive man whose manners contrast with those of her ex-fiancé.
