Eleven-year-old Beanie's bland life is changed for ever when he is sent on a mission. Armed only with laser lip-gloss and a pair of blend-in pants he has to save his parents from Evil Stella and return the Golden Nit to its rightful place at the heart of the sun, thereby saving the universe.

This short film explores the life and work of prolific artist Faith Ringgold. By eschewing linear narrative and drawing connections within her collection of works, the film weaves a larger narrative throughout the story.
