Twinkle

A young lion is entranced by the beauty of the glow-in-the-dark stars decorating the walls in his bedroom. Determined to keep his room dark and the stars glowing brightly, he begins a mission to cover up his window. Amidst his setbacks, he discovers beauty beyond the glowing stars, and embarks on a journey into his imagination.
