Vinda do agreste, Gabriela chega a Ilhéus em 1925, em busca de trabalho. É levada do “mercado dos escravos”, lugar onde acampam os retirantes, pelo árabe Nacib. O dono do bar Vesúvio não atenta de imediato para a beleza da moça, escondida sob os trapos e a poeira do caminho. Não tarda, porém, a descobrir que ela tem a cor da canela e o cheiro do cravo. Em breve, todos os homens da cidade vão se render aos encantos de Gabriela.
