Description

A modest loft above a coach house becomes the secret world of a curious boy named Diamond. Named after his father's favorite horse, he drifts to sleep amid hay and the low thrum of stable life, while the cold North Wind slips through a thin board and rattles his tiny room. The wind’s whisper awakens a sense of wonder, and soon Diamond finds a strange companionship with the invisible force that seems both playful and powerful.

When the North Wind invites him beyond the ordinary, Diamond steps onto a path that leads far from his humble home. Their early journeys hint at strange lands and unexpected challenges, while the boy learns to face his family's hardships with newfound courage. The tale balances gentle domestic detail with the promise of adventure, inviting listeners to share in a young heart’s first steps into a world where imagination rides the wind itself.
