Teresa (Mariene de Castro) is a samba singer who lives in Baixada Fluminense, in Rio de Janeiro. A single mother of one young child, she is pregnant with her second child, and struggles to support her family. Two men appear in her life: the first is her old boyfriend, a rude and violent police officer (Otto), and the second is a caring young man (João Baldasserini), willing to assume the paternity of the future baby. While Teresa's heart breaks, she enlists the help of her best friend (Cadu Fávero).
