The series focuses on the search of a young woman for her lost son. After discovering that her child may be living at an orphanage, she goes there under the alter ego of a humorous and magical nanny figure, touching and changing their lives.
Plot
editMagali Garcia (Jorgelina Aruzzi) is a strict businesswoman who got pregnant in the past, and after revealing it to her father Vítor (Ernesto Claudio), was sent to an abandoned place. The Garcias' servant, under Vítor's orders, took the baby to an orphanage and lied to Magali that her baby was stillborn. The repentant servant later told Magali the truth, which made her hate her father. Magali started looking for the baby, and when she is sure it lives in the Modelo Dumont orphanage, she goes there under a new identity: the sweet, adorable, funny, offbeat Lili, helped by her best friend Lúcia (Mariana Richaudeau). In this guise as Magali's distant cousin, she assumes a maternal figure to the orphans. Lili also meets Terezinha (Mariana Briski), an arrogant housekeeper the kids see as an "evil witch"; the orphanage's owners Julieta (María Carámbula) and Pierre (Alejo García Pintos) Dumont; and their spoiled children Marcel (Luciano Ruiz) and Talita (Delfina Varni). The Dumonts are an ambitious, greedy, perverse avaricious family. Kili (Gastón Ricaud) is the orphanage's handsome, adorable chef, and he and Lili soon fall in love. The chiquititas of this series are Miki, Guta, and Mosquito, teenagers forming a loving triangle; the younger orphans are Luana, Anita, Nando, Paula, Pulga, Josep, Eduardo, and Francisco.
