The story begins in 1886 and features the Sabino Machado family, who live in
São Paulo. The family owns several plots of land for
gold and
ore mining, as well as investments in telephony. The family embarks on the Europe-bound
Albatross, one of the safest ships of the time. Dom Sabino (
Edson Celulari) plans to visit the shipyard he bought in England, keeping his daughter Marocas (Juliana Paiva) away from the city's talk after she refused a wedding at the altar. The ship detours for a brief visit to
Patagonia, but it collides with an
iceberg. The ship is
shipwrecked, and most of the passengers
freeze due to the low water temperature. There are thirteen people on board: the Sabino Machado family, comprising Dom Sabino, Dona Agustina (
Rosi Campos), Marocas, and twins Nico (Raphaela Alvitos) and Kiki (Nathalia Rodrigues); slaves Damásia (
Aline Dias), Cairu (
Cris Vianna), Cesária (Olivia Araujo), Menelau (
David Junior), and Cecílio (Maicon Rodrigues); bookkeeper Teófilo (Kiko Mascarenhas); preceptor Miss Celine (
Maria Eduarda de Carvalho); young Bento (Bruno Montaleone); and Pirate the dog. 132 years later, a large block of ice approaches Guarujá beach in São Paulo. Samuca (
Nicolas Prattes) is a businessman involved in social causes and the owner of the SamVita Holding and the Vita Foundation, which focuses on
recycling. Samuca first sees the ice block while
surfing. He is soon fascinated by the frozen face of Marocas. When a fissure threatens to break the ice block, Samuca – wanting to save Marocas – clings to the block and is drawn by the current to the bottom, arriving at the fictional Red Island. The other frozen humans are taken to Criotec, a laboratory specializing in
cryogenics. The ice block's arrival generates curiosity and stirs a national commotion. Gradually, each of the frozen humans wake up, facing a new contemporary reality. ==Cast==
