Story
Beegu is a small, yellow alien who crash-lands on our planet and feels out of place. She tries to connect with the world around her, but the grown-ups don’t understand her. Only the little people accept and befriend her, giving her kindness and warmth. Lost and lonely, an alienated alien, can Beegu find her way home again?
