Plot
What would you do to have money and power? Maria de Fatima would do everything. Rachel prefers to have a modest life, but never dishonesty. That is the central point of the plot: the differences between mother and daughter, who think in completely different ways and expect different accomplishments from life. Maria de Fátima is an ambitious young woman and wants to have all the best that life has to offer. Raquel, his mother, is a woman fighter, and has all the ethical and moral principles. The survival of these two women will be portrayed throughout 204 chapters.

Raquel Accioli (Regina Duarte), is an honest and hardworking woman, who serves as a tour guide in Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná. Separated from her husband Rubinho (Daniel Filho), Raquel constantly struggles to raise her daughter María de Fátima (Gloria Pires), in the best possible way, without much success, since the girl is the opposite of her; he hates the poverty in which he lives with his mother, and is willing to do whatever it takes to get by.

A short time later, the grandfather of María de Fátima, Salvador (Sebastiao Vasconcelos), dies, releasing all the action of the novel. The ambitious and unscrupulous character of María de Fátima makes her sell her family's property; the house where he lives with his mother, without saying anything and flees with the money to Rio de Janeiro, with the aim of making a living as a model. His desperate mother goes after his daughter and meets Ivan Meirelles (Antônio Fagundes), an honest businessman, who he will fall in love with. To make a living in Rio de Janeiro, Raquel sells sandwiches and sandwiches on the beach, with the help of a friend, Audalio (Pedro Paulo Rangel), known as "Pollyana". Meanwhile, María de Fátima meets the evil César (Carlos Alberto Riccelli), a former model who doesn't have much luck in the middle and becomes allies, wrapping himself out of the law. César stimulates María de Fátima in her millionaire and ambitious eagerness, and introduces her to Solange Dupratt (Lidia Brondi), fashion producer of the magazine "Tomorrow" and girlfriend of Alfonso Roitman (Cássio Gabus Mendes), with him who is close to get marry. Alfonso is the son of Odete Roitman (Beatriz Segall), a powerful, powerful and high-money business woman, director of ACT Airlines; besides Alfonso, she is the mother of Heleninha (Renata Sorrah), a woman of fragile personality, a sculpture artist who suffers from alcoholism.

To fulfill the plan to marry Alfonso Roitman, María de Fátima accepts the proposal of Odete Roitman, who asks her to separate her mother from Ivan, whom she wishes for her daughter Heleninha, and promises María de Fátima, to encourage to his son Alfonso to marry her. The evil of Maria de Fatima will have no limits and manages to end her mother's relationship with Ivan, accusing him of dishonesty. He also manages to marry Alfonso, who is totally deceived by her, in conspiracy with her lover César. Solange is very disappointed by her ex-boyfriend, but she knows that María de Fátima is not the good woman everyone believes. Ivan marries Heleninha, and Maria de Fatima's plans begin to go wrong.

According to Odete Roitman, María de Fátima will only be entitled to Alfonso's fortune, after two years of marriage. Time passes, but two months before the deadline, Odete discovers María de Fátima's romance with César, of whom Odete was a lover, knowing that César was only a gigolo.

Unmasked, without money and without Odete's support, María de Fátima will look for her mother Raquel, who now owns a restaurant chain. Rachel, however, after many disappointments, refuses to help her daughter.

Another character appears on the scene, Marco Aurelio (Reginaldo Faria), Odete's right arm in business, and Heleninha's ex-husband, but now married to Leila (Cássia Kiss); that he will become one of the great villains of history, and a powerful ally, and lover, for the ambitious of Mary of Fatima, who will see in him, a great opportunity to take revenge on the Roitman family.
