1,2,3… I’d rather be me!
Amara is a girl with curly hair and a long wish list. Amara wishes she had freckles, straight hair and that she was a math prodigy. So she builds a machine with which you can transform into whoever you want to be for a short while. Eventually, Amara realises that she is wonderful just the way she is and that her worth does not depend on superficial factors.
