Plot
[edit]Marcos, from an early age, shows himself to be different from other people, which worries his parents. Gifted with a special gift, he foresees events, but cannot prevent them from happening. As an adult, he foresees, but is unable to prevent, the tragic death of his younger brother, Lucas, whom he protected and loved very much.
Tormented by guilt, Marcos leaves for São Paulo to live with his sister, Ester, and give his life a new direction. Soon after arriving in the city, he meets Sônia, a beautiful and honest girl who works in a crystal factory. In this casual but intense encounter, Marcos feels that she is the woman of his life.
However, Sonia is his cousin Camilo's girlfriend. In an attempt to forget her, Marcos gets involved with Ruth, a beautiful, frivolous and headstrong girl. He is also the target of admiration from Carola, Ruth's sister, an intelligent girl but with low self-esteem, who thinks she is fat and clumsy - the ugly duckling of her family.
Thus begins Marcos' new life. During his journey, his gift will be exploited by ambitious people who see it as an opportunity to make easy money. However, it will be up to Marcos to decide whether this is the path he wants to follow or whether it is worth trying to discover what his true mission is.
