They are strangers from two different countries. Because of a chance encounter at an outdoor performance, two people from different worlds have an intersection. Because she liked him who was active on the screen, she came to the country where he was born to experience his life. Their chance encounter was the beginning of their love, but they eventually returned to the beginning amidst the cruelty of reality.
