    Plot


    The story follows two timelines: Maluquinho's life at 5 and 10 years, while being narrated by his 30-year old version. They teach important lessons about art, consumerism, value of money, time, friendship, school and other aspects of life.
    Sometimes, the characters give their opinion about a current event or foreshadow some event that will eventually take place in the episode, speaking to the cameras, in front of a white wall.
