Short Summary:
A young orphan named Yuni loves to watch the stars, wondering where her parents are and if they might ever come back. But something strange is happening—the adults in her orphanage are forgetting things, their names, their stories, even each other. The stars, too, seem dim and quiet.
One night, a single star falls from the sky, landing deep in the woods. Yuni runs to find it and discovers a small, pale, faceless being—a fallen star that has forgotten who it is. She names it Sparky, and together, they set off on a journey to restore Sparky’s memory and uncover the mystery of why the world is forgetting.
Along the way, they meet the Wise Owl, the Ancient Tree, the Playful River, Mother Earth, and Grandpa Sun—each one guardians of memory in their own way. They guide Yuni and Sparky, helping them recover pieces of a forgotten song that may hold the key to bringing back what was lost.
Their quest leads them to Nowhere, a vast, silent void where they meet No One and No-Thing—the place where all memories begin and end. Only a spark can awaken it again.
In the end, Sparky realizes she was always the spark that brings light and connection to the world. With a final, glowing burst, she vanishes—returning to everything, everywhere. Yuni wakes up where she started, the memory of Sparky lingering like a song in her heart.
Back at the orphanage, a kind couple arrives to adopt her—with a small, joyful puppy in their arms.
“This is Sparky,” they say.
Yuni smiles, holding the puppy close, feeling the warmth of everything she has lost and found.
💫 “Hello, Sparky.” 💫
