The seamstress

The lives of two young sisters, Emilia and Luzia dos Santos, seamstresses in early nineteenth-century Brazil, diverge sharply after Luzia is kidnapped by an outlaw band of cangaceiros led by the infamous Hawk, and Emilia marries into a wealthy, politically connected family, and while Luzia becomes notorious for throwing her lot in with her captors, and Emilia learns to navigate high society, they remain loyal to the point of risking their lives for each other.
