Plot

The series features Lucas Silva e Silva (Luciano Amaral), a ten-year-old boy who lives with his grandparents, parents, sister and maid in a townhouse in São Paulo. His father, Rogério (Antônio Fagundes), is a teacher who works hard, and his mother, Carolina (Mira Haar), works at a boutique. His older sister is called Juliana (Mayana Blum), and the maid is called Rosa (Ana D’Lira). Lucas is given a tape recorder by his grandfather, Orlando (Gianfrancesco Guarnieri), for his birthday. Lucas uses the tape recorder to record his childhood fantasies, which feature prominently in each episode.

Spin-off

In 1993, following on from Mundo da Lua and featuring its main character Lucas, TV Cultura broadcast a 5 episode, educational mini-series, called Lucas e Juquinha em Perigo! Perigo! Perigo! (Lucas and Juquinha in Danger! Danger! Danger!). The series showed Lucas helping his younger cousin, Juquinha, navigate common household hazards such as medicine, fire and electricity.
