Laranjinha is poor and about to starve while João Vitor is a middle-class kid living in an apartment in front of Laranjinha's favela. This episode shows the similarity between the two boys.

The two take a trip to Brasília, to talk to Presidente Lula and give him a letter from an elderly prisoner.

When Laranjinha and Acerola apply for social security at work, it prompts thoughts about their futures and jump-starts Laranjinha's quest for his own "lost" father. Will he find the paternal figure he's been looking for?

Acerola runs into more trouble than he expected when taking care of a poodle.
