Oceans of Notions and Lakes of Mistakes

A fantastical travelogue about the practicality of the imagination and the power of dreams that follows the adventures of a young girl named Darya who lives with her father, Babak, an inventor. Babak is never at a loss for ideas to solve even the most difficult problems using his logic and ingenuity. One day all this changes and he suddenly finds he cannot think of a single invention. His ideas are all dried up. Darya, who is not at all logical like her father, consults with her imaginary (but not so imaginary) friends who tell her she must take her father on a journey to the source of all Ideas: the Ocean of Notions. On the way, however, their journey will first take them through the Lakes of Mistakes.

Ideas are like water they flow

They follow their own logic

They seek their own level

They make things grow

Ideas are like water they flow
