Helena
When his father passes away, EstĂĄcio (Osmar Prado) and his aunt Ărsula (Ida Gomes) receive his will and are surprised to discover that most of the inheritance was left to Helena (LĂșcia Alves), a previously unknown daughter. In the will, her father asks that his daughter be taken in by her relatives. The news infuriates Ărsula, who has been in charge of the family business and caring for EstĂĄcio since his mother passed away, and does not accept Helena willingly, seeing her as an intruder in the family. In addition to Ărsula, someone who is not pleased with the girl's arrival is Dr. Camargo (RogĂ©rio FrĂłes), father of EugĂȘnia (Ăngela ValĂ©rio), EstĂĄcio's fiancĂ©e. Even so, EstĂĄcio obeys his father's request and takes the girl to live with his family. Helena has a cheerful and outgoing temperament and her arrival affects everyone's lives. At first, she is hostile to Ărsula, but later wins her sympathy.
