Synopsis

A young girl and her best friend, Rita, enjoy drawing together. When Rita's flawless artwork earns praise, the girl feels proud of her own creation—until she notices a stain. The next day, an inky blue mark appears on her white dress. Such mishaps, she thinks, would never happen to Rita. As the stain spreads, it seems to ruin everything. However, the stain takes on a life of its own, encouraging the girl to see that imperfections can lead to unexpected joy and creativity.
