Marina, a young girl with an infectious smile, live in Okinawa, a charming Japanese island with beautiful beaches and a rich traditional culture. After the untimely death of her mother, Marina and her father, Hiroshi, they had settled in a shop house on the beach, a cozy house with a small attached shop.
The shop house of Marina and her father was right in front of the turquoise sea of Okinawa. Every morning, Marina awoke to the sound of waves crashing on the sand and the sweet scent of the ocean. It was a magical place, where the sunset offered breathtaking displays of color and the evenings were filled with the song of the cicadas.
