Plot
Serafina Rose is a simple girl who lives with her parents, Giovanni and Amália, her sister Therese, who is engaged to Miltom, and her brother Dino in a village in São Paulo. She works at Claude's company, a French industrialist who needs a permanent visa to stay in Brazil in order to start a big business with approximately 10 million Americans. Serafina is in love with her boss but he is not aware of it.

Claude has a strange rash. Whenever he hears the word "marriage" he starts to sneeze, cough, hiccup, etc. All residents of the slum are threatened with eviction and need a million dollars to be able to buy it. Claude is engaged to an ambitious woman named Nara and they work together. Serafina and Nara met and argue in a fabric shop but Serafina didn't know that Nara is engaged to Claude.

One day, Claude discovers through his partner and best friend Frazão that he has to marry in order to start business with Americans. One of the Americans who want to trade is Mr. Claude Smith, a successful businessman who met Serafina after she found his wallet and returned it. Claude cannot marry Nara because she is still married to a man who fled and left her with two children (Bob, a reckless boy, and Rachel, a sweet girl who is dating Sérgio, the son of Joanna, who lives in tenement). Sérgio's dream is to become an actor.
