Stop Dreaming, Richard
Synopsis
Richard Watson, a passionate dreamer and fantasy lover, works at a company that creates innovative product concepts. His colleague, Emma Brandich, is a pragmatic and highly rational scientist who refuses to believe in anything that cannot be explained.
One day, Richard’s latest project—a playful, interactive prototype—malfunctions in a mysterious way, and both are transported to a fantastical world called Auralia. Here, logic is defied, the sky changes colors unpredictably, hills float, rivers glow, and the laws of reality no longer apply.
Emma is terrified, trying desperately to reason and appeal to science, while Richard marvels at the wonders surrounding them. Their conflicting perspectives lead to hilarious and absurd situations, especially when they encounter Sophie Waters, a cat-like resident of Auralia with ears and a tail, who finds Richard’s curiosity both shocking and amusing.
As they navigate this strange and unpredictable world, every choice they make has immediate consequences, blending comedy, fantasy, and adventure. Will Emma learn to embrace the impossible? Will Richard’s enthusiasm survive Sophie’s comic punishments?
“Stop Dreaming, Richard” is a humorous, adventurous journey exploring the clash between reason and imagination, where fantasy reigns and laughter is inevitable.
