Synopsis

They did not know each other but loved each other deep down in their hearts. Their paths finally crossed in a storm, but it also separated them. The man was thrown to the sea. The girl tried to salvage him but failed. They drifted apart and lived on two poles ever after. The sea level rose because of the climate change and land became scarce. Several decades later, more and more people lived on the sea. Occasionally during a ship gathering, the two finally met again.
