Adapted from the book by Zélia Gattai, the series portrays her family's memories, addressing, with good humor, the dreams and difficulties experienced by immigrants in São Paulo in 1920

Edmar, nicknamed "Pé de Vento" (Wind Foot), comes with his family from Muzambinho, Minas Gerais, to São Paulo to try his luck professionally. Interested in running, he starts training at a club under the guidance of Alfredo, a veteran disillusioned with the sport, who only has hopes for the athlete. Their shared dream is to win the São Silvestre Race. At the club, Edmar meets Cristiane, a wealthy young woman who falls in love with him and despises the spoiled Itamar. However, Pé falls in love with the humble nurse Terezinha, granddaughter of the wise Mrs. Noca.

In Europe, at the end of the 19th century, social policies sent thousands of immigrants out of their countries. A Spaniard, a Portuguese, and an Italian seek new opportunities in the new country, without imagining the difficulties along the way.

With new debts, the comedic Dulcinéa is struggling to save her theater once again when she meets the street children Caco, Minga, Cristina, Márcia, and Mico and gets the idea to put on a children's show to turn things around, but taming the little rascals is an arduous task. The new owner of the building, the Count of Castelnuovo, can't wait for the theater to close to build a commercial building, plotting to ruin Dulcinéa's plans and counting on the help of social worker Helena to get rid of the children. The Count also prevents his daughter, Jerusa, from dating the humble Thales because he wants her to marry the wealthy old man Camilo Batateira, putting the housekeeper Murcia to watch over her. There's also the romance between Carolina and Marcelo, thwarted by the wicked Ludmila, and the comical messes created by Lucrécia to prevent her son Mateus from marrying Mariana and leaving home.
