The series premiered in
1965. Stopped in 1987.
The character of Philémon is a
French farmboy, who, after having taken an
unvoluntary dive into the farm's well, suddenly
finds himself in odd and mystical worlds, that
are apparently located on several islands in the
Atlantic Ocean. Here Philémon meets all sorts of
strange beings spanning from plants to humans.
The series is poetically surreal and somewhat
reminiscent of Lewis Carroll's novel Alice in
Wonderland.
