A mother leaves her small hometown in the countryside for Rio de Janeiro to search for a son that was stolen from her.

Mother-of-five Lurdes tirelessly searches for Domenico, her child who was sold by his own father 26 years ago; Thelma is an overprotective mother who learns she has a terminal illness and must race against time to realize her dreams and prepare her son for life without her; Vitória is a successful lawyer who sees the end of her marriage after countless failed attempts to have a baby and decides to adopt, but during the process she finds out she's pregnant. In 'A Mother's Love', these women's lives are intertwined while they recognize themselves in the unconditional love provided by motherhood.
