Description
En el Brasil colonial de los años 1930, dos hermanas huérfanas conviven con un trasfondo de inestabilidad política y desastres naturales. Emília y Luzia dos Santos, dos hermanas con una excelente destreza para la costura, sueñan con escapar de su pequeño pueblo, un anhelo que separa sus vidas… Luzia sufre una deformidad desde que un accidente en la infancia la dejara lisiada y se convierte en una muchacha ruda y también poco casadera. Su única oportunidad de conseguir la independencia y la felicidad será casarse con el bandido que la secuestra, Antonio, el Halcón. En cambio Emília es delicada como una flor. Quiere una vida acomodada y refinada en la ciudad, por lo que contrae matrimonio con el hijo de un rico médico, a pesar de no estar enamorada de él. Los caminos de las dos hermanas se vuelven a unir cuando la vida de una de ellas corre peligro, aunque ya no son las mismas que en el pasado: Emília se siente sola y desgraciada y Luzia se ha convertido en una forajida a la que apodan, La Costurera.
