Next, Alberto takes him to his hideout, a tall abandoned tower, and shows him all the things he has collected, including a poster for a Vespa, an Italian scooter. Luca is mystified at having legs to stand on, and Alberto gives him a quick lesson on walking. Luca soon becomes attracted to going back to the surface, and Alberto eggs him to come up. He is confronted by Daniela for being gone for a long time, but Grandma protects Luca by claiming that she sent him out to get sea cucumbers. Scared but amazed, Luca returns to the ocean. He forces Luca up to show him what it is like and discovers that he transforms into a human when he hits dry land. The diver turns out to be another sea monster named Alberto Scorfano, who had been collecting the items to begin with and taking them back to his hideout on the surface. The next day, Luca follows a trail of more human objects until he is cornered by what looks like a deep-sea diver. On the other hand, his grandmother openly discusses her adventures on the surface in the past and seems supportive of Luca wanting to get out. His mother, Daniela, is highly protective of him and warns him of being caught by anyone from the surface, while his father, Lorenzo, is slightly inattentive and distracted. Luca, bored with his simple life, takes notice of a clock and a joker card that he found on the ocean floor. Luca Paguro is a sea monster who farms goatfish for his family in a hidden area of the ocean. Upon seeing it, they recognize it as a sea monster and try to catch it, but it escapes, much to their dismay. Two fishermen, Giacomo and Tommaso, are out at night trying to catch fish when a strange creature suddenly begins swiping things from their boat.

Luca shares these adventures with his newfound best friend, but all the fun is threatened by a deeply-held secret: they are sea monsters from another world just below the water's surface.

Set in a beautiful seaside town on the Italian Riviera (Liguria), Disney and Pixar's original feature film Luca is a coming-of-age story about one young boy experiencing an unforgettable summer filled with gelato, pasta, and endless scooter rides.
