Diogo Almada is a successful account manager at a telecommunications company who is struggling with serious stress and anxiety issues due to the constant state of pressure he lives in. His situation becomes worse when he suffers a stroke which puts him in hospital. There, doctors tell him that if he doesn't slow down things could become much worse for him in the future. He also meets the owner of a vegetables and herbs greenery in Beirais, a small village in the midlands, who is looking to sell it. Diogo then decides to buy him out and risk it as a farmer himself. He wants his girlfriend Teresa to come along with him, but she refuses to leave Lisbon due to her career and also because she doesn't want to give up her city comforts. But Diogo decides to move to Beirais anyway, where he is faced with an entirely different reality from what he’s used to.

There are no boundaries for a mother’s love... Madalena is a wealthy and powerful entrepreneur in the healthcare business who feels guilty about her grandson’s death, João, due to an accident at her pool when the boy was under her care. The death of the child results in her daughter Leonor spiral down into self destruction and madness, jeopardizing her career as well as her marriage to Bruno, an ambitious man. Leonor’s pain is heightened by the fact that, due to complications that occurred during labour, she is no longer able to carry a pregnancy to full term. With the support from her husband Rodrigo, Leonor's stepfather, Madalena offers to serve as a surrogate to Leonor through intrauterine insemination so that she and Bruno can have a biological child. But this pregnancy, which had everything to be the greatest act of love, is not only illegal, but proves to be an unparalleled atrocity.
