Arco

Arco is a bright ten year old living in a distant future where wonder and technology mix freely. On his first flight in a rainbow suit, a misstep sends him tumbling through time and into a world long before his own era. In 2075, Iris, a curious girl his age, witnesses the sky bloom with color as he lands in her city. She dives into danger to pull him to safety, then refuses to abandon him to a fate he didn’t choose. Their unlikely alliance becomes a pulse of adventure and resolve as they work to find a way back to his time without losing themselves along the way. Along the way, they rely on clever gadgetry, shared jokes, and stubborn optimism to bridge centuries.
