"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
Leticia, who always has the right answer, promptly raises her hand. The teacher's finger glides over the children, until it points to a terrified "Anselmo!". Anselmo is a 10-year-old boy in the last year of primary school. It's at this age that the question "what do you want to be when you grow up?" suddenly becomes frighteningly concrete. The boy panics. As all the world's professions cross his mind, Anselmo imagines himself in the role of a waiter, an astronaut, an archaeologist... Each episode of the series consists of an imaginary adventure in which the boy is confronted with a different profession: an inexhaustible source of challenges that create comic misadventures.
