In 2501, on Planet Earth, lives Glittery Shiny, a human being totally free from the cliches of the gender binary dictatorship. Heirs of the largest known diamond, the Pink Star, they are murdered when running away to another galaxy, towards Shiralea VI. Who killed the freest person who ever existed? The show seeks to reconstruct their trajectory in order to unravel the enigma of their death.
