Plot
Taking place in the near future (in the year 2973), the story follows Cósmico, Luna and Maninho, a trio of children who are the inhabitants of the “Planet of Children”, a futuristic society located within Galaxy 7, where a child’s lives are fully programmed. The kids idolize the planet’s representative, a superhero named Captain Program, and they dream of reaching their final phase once they’ve reached 10,000 points: the Planet of Adult Children. One night, seeking to gain more points for their special bonus, the three children get lost in space and discover an infinite universe, forgotten in a small traveling fair called the Worldturner Circus, led by the jovial Giramundos and his posse. After living new experiences, the world of programming sends none other than their special representative Captain Program to rescue them. Now they must choose their own paths.
