Plot

In 1980, when she was only ten years old, Manuzita was the host of her own television program, but she is forced to start a contest to find a co-star or the show would be canceled. Brothers João and Jerônimo sneak off to the auditions and are both chosen. The trio form the group Patotinha Mágica, which became a huge national success. While Manuzita and João gained attention as a couple, Jerônimo was left out by the press and develops a hatred for his brother. During a huge performance, João gets sick and faints onstage. His mother (Dira Paes) is accused of negligence and the case ends up in the main newspapers, causing the termination of advertising contracts and the group to disband. Ten years later, in 1990, Manu (Isabelle Drummond) is an actress, but has not been successful and tries to regain her fame, accepting any work to achieve it. João (Rafael Vitti) is the host of a radio program and Jerônimo (Jesuíta Barbosa) has gambling debts. When her car breaks down, Manu is reunited with João and they begin to date, causing jealousy from Jerônimo.
