Synopsis: Diana (Rita Martins) is a teenager looking for true love, the kind of love she recognises in the relationship between her father, Gabriel (João Lagarto), and Madalena (Margarida Marinho), her stepmother, alongside whom she works in a hair salon. One day, Diana discovers that Madalena maintains a secret relationship with Miguel (Filipe Duarte), a security guard at the mall and instructor in the neighbourhood gym. To prevent her stepmother from doing to her father what her mother had done before, Diana decides to separate them. While at it, Diana finds what she wanted but in the man she hates the most.
