Plot

Two women find out they are sisters in the worst possible way and, from that moment on, engage in a constant conflict.

Alice (Sara Matos) wants Rita's life. Rita (Dalila Carmo) wants to bring Alice into the happy family life she built with her husband Fernando (Pedro Lima), unaware that her sister is truly an evil monster who will stop at nothing to take Rita's place. In the cosmopolitan and sophisticated city of Lisbon, we watch as the stories of common people intersect, as they face everyday tribulations, fighting and trying to overcome them, in a plot filled with emotion and sensuality, in which evil is depicted in all its rawness and in which we see how that evil can ruin those who aren’t ready to face their enemies, no matter where they come from... And, sometimes, your worst enemy is yourself or those to whom you call your family...
