Carinha de Anjo

After a family tragedy, Dulce Maria finds a safe haven with a warm community of nuns who run a small boarding school. The cheerful girl bonds with the sisters and a tight-knit group of classmates, turning ordinary days into small adventures and learning how to cope with loss, hope, and friendship. The tone stays gentle and hopeful, mixing light humor with honest moments as she grows. Along the way she uncovers kindness in unlikely places, makes friends who stand by her, and discovers she can carry happiness into others' lives as much as they lift hers. Then a father steps back into her life, stirring memories and testing the sense of home she has built among her new friends and mentors.

Carinha de Anjo premiered in 2016 on SBT, directed by Ricardo Mantoanelli, Roberto Menezes and Mário Moraes. It was created by Leonor Corrêa, Iris Abravanel and Natalia Piserni, part of the network's family friendly daytime lineup.
