Biography
Marina and Roberto get married, since the passion was the first sight, and decide to live there. It turns out that Marina's stay in the new home will not be easy: In addition to the difficulties in adapting to the luxury of the Stein, Marina has to live with the strong presence of Alice, Roberto's late wife. Though dead, Alice continues to be remembered and worshiped by housekeepers, starting with the housekeeper, Juliana.

In love with her boss, Juliana does not let the deceased be forgotten and creates a dark mood in the house. Idealized by everyone she had lived with, Alice's presence is reinforced by a full-length portrait of the deceased hanging in the main room of the mansion. Marina also suffers from the intrigues created by Juliana. Was Juliana part of a conspiracy led by Alice herself (who would be alive)? Was Marina going crazy? These are questions raised throughout the plot.

Marina's cousin Miguel is completely in love with her, turning into yet another hindrance in her marriage. He joins Adelia in an attempt to separate her from Roberto.

When the siege closes for Juliana, all that remains is to go mad and believe that it was Roberto's late wife who, according to this view, never died. Juliana is diagnosed with madness and ends the rest of her days in a hospice.
