The Story of Lucas Silva e Silva
The show is all about Lucas Silva e Silva, a ten-year-old boy played by Luciano Amaral. Lucas lives in a townhouse in São Paulo with his family. His dad, Rogério (Antônio Fagundes), is a busy teacher. His mom, Carolina (Mira Haar), works at a clothing store. Lucas also has an older sister named Juliana (Mayana Blum) and a kind maid named Rosa (Ana D’Lira).
For his birthday, Lucas gets a special gift from his grandfather, Orlando (Gianfrancesco Guarnieri). It's a tape recorder! Lucas loves to use this tape recorder to record all his childhood dreams and amazing fantasies. These imaginative stories are a big part of every episode.

This series had five episodes. In it, Lucas helps his younger cousin, Juquinha. They learn how to stay safe from common dangers around the house. These dangers included things like medicines, fire, and electricity. It was a fun way to teach kids about safety!
