The series debuted in Latin America on September 21, 2008, with a season consisting of thirteen episodes, ending on December 14, 2008.

The series stars Andréia Horta who plays Alice, a young woman who leaves her small town to live in São Paulo, where she meets several people who help her to better understand herself. The series is characterized by a multitude of characters, the arguments of introspection in the protagonist's inner journey and its realistic portrayal of the city and its inhabitants, showing examples of different lifestyles of many people in the metropolis.[3]
