Every project is a pilot. Mine get picked up.

    A bakery sells out by nine every morning and turns people away at ten. Ida builds a shop that takes orders the night before, and learns to knead.

Don't miss the next season

One email when a new episode comes out. Four or five a year, never a cliffhanger.

The living room late at night: the coral sofa empty except the grey cat asleep on a cushion, the laptop closed, a lamp and the moon at the window.
