In the series, the characters live in a fictional city called "Ciudad P. Luche" where clothes and other objects are wrapped in plush.
The show is similar in style to the American sitcom Married... with Children, in that it depicts a comically dysfunctional family.
La familia P. Luche, however, plays more like a live-action cartoon, complete with colorful sets and comic sound effects.
The explanation behind the change in actors for Ludoviquito was that he was not really Ludovico's son, but rather the product of a tryst between Federica and the milkman.
Ludovico accidentally snaps Ludoviquito out of his trance, and the poor child begins to cry once he realizes the fate in which he is stuck.
