Synopsis:

The world is a frozen expanse, perpetually veiled in snow and dominated by a vast, icy ocean. Humanity has adapted, constructing settlements within the colossal trees that pierce the atmospheric layers or clinging to their roots on the frozen surface below. The narrative follows Kaina, raised among the towering canopy structures, whose life is irrevocably altered by an encounter with Ririha, a resident of the frigid surface world.

Their connection sparks a series of unforeseen events, forcing both characters to confront long-held beliefs and navigate the delicate balance between their disparate environments. The anime explores themes of survival, adaptation, and the potential for understanding across seemingly insurmountable divides. Set against a visually striking and desolate landscape, the story emphasizes interpersonal relationships amidst a backdrop of environmental challenge and societal contrast.
