Hoje É Dia de Maria (English: Today is Maria's Day) was a Brazilian miniseries directed by Luiz Fernando Carvalho, adapted from the novel by Carlos Alberto Soffredini. It was produced in 8 episodes and exhibited in 2005 by Rede Globo.

This is a story filled with other stories. Hidden in our childhood memories, these stories still stay with us secretly, awaiting only the right moment to reappear. That‘s the substance of Maria‘s journey through the world, like a small Ulysses trying to get home to her parents.

A second season with 5 episodes titled Hoje É Dia de Maria: Segunda Jornada, was shown in the same year. A musical version of the novel debuted in São Paulo in September 2016, but it is not approaching the television version that was exhibited in 2005.
