During a trip, a serious accident causes Luciana to become paraplegic, thus changing hers and everybody‘s lives. When her fiancé Jorge can’t handle her disability, she turns to his twin brother and doctor Miguel, who comes to her aid, becoming Luciana‘s hope of recovery. Together, they will face the challenges of overcoming her condition and will fall in love. Seize the day is an incomparable tale of life, love and fate.
Seize the day. Because life is worth living.
