Synopsis[edit]

Franklin and Milena, accompanied by their dog Blu, try to uncover the secrets of time travel. But each episode will have their focus diverted from the investigation: first the power goes out and they make a lamp, and deal with an invasion of bees. Then a comet crosses the solar system, and a flea infestation occurs in Limoeiro. Then they program a robot to make cakes and develop an AI. Finally, they discover a prehistoric fossil, and Franjinha loses sleep trying to decipher the mysteries of time. Science emerges as the answer to each adventure, and together they learn and become best friends and scientists, discovering that true time travel is science itself!
