Plot

Paloma (Grazi Massafera), is a seamstress who raised her three children alone: Alice (Bruna Inocencio), Gabriela (Giovanna Coimbra) and Peter (João Bravo). Paloma creates the costumes for Unidos de Bom Sucesso, a samba school. Her world turns upside down when she receives the wrong test results that confirm that she only has six months to live, which makes her do everything she never had the courage to do, including sleeping with a stranger, Marcos (Rômulo Estrela), who falls in love with her. Upon discovering that she received the wrong test results, Paloma decides to meet the man who does have six months to live and comes across Alberto (Antônio Fagundes), a millionaire who never valued his family. Despite opposite personalities, the two form a friendship that takes them on a journey of discovery: she through books and he through the pleasures of life and sleeping feelings, including reliving a love of the past with Vera (Ângela Vieira).
