The series focuses on the adventures of the fictional protagonist, Maluquinho, and his friends at 5 and 10 years of age, which covers topics about art, time, friendship, school and other aspects of life, usually narrated by a 30-year old Maluquinho.[2] The series received positive reviews from television critics, earned high ratings, and has won some awards, such as Japan's NHK Japan Prize award. It was also nominated for an International Emmy Award for Best Children and Youth program in 2007.

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.[3]
