Januario and his two daughters, Mel and Clara, live in Alentejo and work for Armando, as farmers. Mel and Armando's son, Bernardo, are secret lovers because their parents don't approve the relationship. Tired of hiding, Mel and Bernardo decide to run away. However, Clara discovers their plan and denounces them. Angry, Armando banishes the two sisters from his propriety and takes Bernardo with him and Januario for a business trip to Amsterdam. On the plane, among with them, goes Camila, a model that works for Helena, who later falls in love with the taxi driver and Camila's brother, Quim. Helena is a fashion designer who was kicked out of home by her father, Caetano, in the past. Januario, before going to Amsterdam, writes a letter to Caetano, saying that one of his daughters is actually Caetano's. During the trip to Amsterdam, the plane has some complications and crashes. The press reports that everyone died, except Camila, who is disfigured.
