The setting is Paraíba Valley, Rio de Janeiro, in the nineteenth century. Higino Ventura (Paulo Betti) is a former peddler who enriched with shady dealings and bought Hill Top Farm in the town of Sant'Anna, to approach his old flame, Helen (Sonia Braga), a resident of the farm neighbor, Golden Green, now married to the powerful Baron Henry de Sampaio Sobral (Reginaldo Faria). Ventura is willing to do anything to win back Helen, including buying Golden Green and obtaining a noble title. But Helena, though disregarding him for the love of her husband, suffers at the hands of the Baron, who knows that Abelard (Selton Mello), who raised him as his son is actually the son of Ventura.
The couple's legitimate son, Ignatius (Fábio Assunção), does not conform to the cruel treatment that his father gives his mother and decides to leave the farm. At Rio de Janeiro, he meets Esther Ramos Delamare (Malu Mader), a beautiful courtesan, owner of the most famous saloon of the Court. They fall in love and live an intense romance, and Esther decides to leave her kind of life just to live with Ignatius. However, the unexpected death of his mother makes Ignatius return to the farm to help his father and brother. Moreover, he splits with Esther because of intrigues by his grandmother, Idalina Menezes Albuquerque Silveira (Nathália Timberg), who, though not suspect Esther is a courtesan, fears her grandson's involvement with a girl of lower social class. To destroy the romance, Idalina falsifies his grandson's signature and sends Esther a letter, convincing her that Ignatius does not love her anymore.
