Four Repressed Women

This is the story of a family where the father, a dictator, always sought perfection. He wanted a son, but only got three girls. Jurema, nineteen years old, takes care of her two sisters, Jussara and Julia, and dreams of being a singer and going to live in Europe. Jussara became pregnant at age thirteen. Julia is obedient and thinks about being free one day. Amelia, the mother, endures humiliation and submission to Jorge since the day she married him.

Amelia finally has enough after suffering physical attacks from Jorge and has to choose between her husband and her daughter Jussara. Jurema, a sweet woman willing to help anyone in need meets Sheila, who works in a brothel. Sheila is pregnant, so Jurema takes her to her mom's house.

We will never be able to explain the mysteries of love!

One day Sheila disappears for a few days, leaving her two-year-old son. Then she calls and wants her son back the next day. Did Sheila use Jurema by promising love? Will Jurema fall apart? Will Amelia remain a fragile woman in the face of male dominance?

And Jorge--what happened to him? Will he make changes for love and family? Will he ask Amelia and his daughters to come back? Will Amelia take him back?
