The characters
A little family, a house on a hill above the sea, and a village by the water. The same faces return from one episode to the next.
Ayden
A little boy with sage-green skin and two antennae shaped like young sprouts. Always in a mustard duffle coat and red rain boots. He dreams big, tries right away, often falls and starts again. His antennae give away how he feels.
Dad
Curly hair, grey sweatshirt, silver chain. Handy, patient, often holding a mug. He doesn't make his son's dreams come true for him: he finds the idea, lends his tools and fixes things with him.
The cat
Brown tabby, white chest and paws, a thin white stripe on the nose. He looks down on everything with a slightly bored air… until a fish swims too close.
The monkey
Small, caramel brown, heart-shaped face and curled tail. He copies Ayden, steals parts from the workshop, gets tangled in ropes. If there's mischief to be done, he's already on it.
The places
The house on the hill. Grey, tall and narrow, with a round window, a weathervane and a long wooden staircase. Next to it, a big oak tree. Below, the turquoise sea and a red-roofed village.
The attic workshop. A big round window over the sea, a workbench covered in gears, a red stool. This is where the machines for Ayden's dreams are born.
The garden. A dry-stone wall, sunflowers, a blue wheelbarrow and white laundry drying in the wind.
The village canal. A pale stone quay, clear water with orange fish, and a little grocery shop with a red lantern.
