In 1856, Emperor Dom Pedro II lived a marriage of appearances with Teresa Cristina, whom he was forced to marry at a young age due to his parents' political alliance, having two daughters with her: Isabel and Leopoldina. He truly loves Countess Luisa, a cultured and progressive woman who fights for the abolitionist cause and women's rights, married to Eugenio, a cousin of Emperor Napoleon. At the same time, there are sisters Pilar and Dolores: the former went to a convent after their mother's death in childhood, growing up among books and dreaming of studying medicine - inspired by the story of Elizabeth Blackwell, the first doctor in the world - while the latter stayed home to care for their father, Colonel Eudoro, growing up repressed, illiterate, and without vanity.
