Description: Luca Paguro is a young sea monster living off the Italian coast near Portorosso, where he spends his days herding fish. His parents, Daniela and Lorenzo, forbid him from venturing to the surface, fearing humans might harm him. This restriction leaves Luca bored and curious. One day, he meets Alberto Scorfano, another young sea monster who has often visited the surface. Alberto convinces Luca to follow him, and Luca discovers that they can transform into humans when dry. They explore Alberto’s hideout on a nearby island, filled with human objects, including a Vespa poster. Inspired, they decide to build their own Vespa while Luca struggles to keep his double life a secret from his parents, with only his grandmother aware of the truth.
When Daniela and Lorenzo discover Luca’s actions, they plan to send him to live with his distant relative, Uncle Ugo, in the ocean’s depths. Distraught, Luca flees to the surface with Alberto, and they head to Portorosso. There, they clash with Ercole Visconti, a local bully and repeat champion of the Portorosso Cup Race. As Ercole nearly exposes Luca’s true identity, they are saved by Giulia Marcovaldo, who brings them to her home. Her father, Massimo, is a skilled fish hunter who seeks to capture a sea monster, causing fear in Luca and Alberto. Meanwhile, Daniela and Lorenzo search for Luca, eventually venturing to the surface themselves.
