Synopsis

As children, we all collect things, have a special place that no one else knows about, and where we can revel in the wonderment of our secrets. Mira is no different. Yet her adventure one summer evening is full of magic she learns cannot be contained. And so on this night, she learns a valuable lesson that changes her and the night sky forever.
