Maria da Glória is a beautiful, gentle, and affectionate young woman living in 1860s Rio de Janeiro. Despite a painful past marked by loss and loneliness, she remains kind, sensitive, and hopeful. She carries secrets she is deeply afraid to reveal, fearing that the truth might change how others see her or make them abandon her. She longs for genuine affection, a peaceful home, and someone who will accept and love her sincerely. Above all, she simply wants to be happy and loved.

Inspired by José de Alencar’s literary work Lucíola.
