Plot
The plot focuses on the 16 year old Beatriz Urquiza (Isabela Souza), a girl who likes to draw. When Beatriz "Bia" was very young, she loved making music with her older sister Helena (Gabriella Di Grecco). Helena was herself a singer and a member of the band MoonDust, which included her boyfriend Víctor (Fernando Dente) and his little brother Lucas Gutiérrez. One day the band got into a traffic accident in which Lucas and apparently Helena died and only Víctor survived, who is now paraplegic and has to sit in a wheelchair. Bia still suffers from the loss of her sister ten years later, and neither have the Urquiza or Gutiérrez families processed the loss of their children or siblings. There has been hostility between the two families since the accident, particularly the Gutiérrez make life difficult for the Urquiza because they make Helena responsible for the accident.
