When a chance meeting brings together the disconnected existences of two parties living either side of a desolate river's estuary, a bizarre relationship is born. However as time passes, what may truly seem like a token of one party's affection may only be the object of their darkest desires.
At the beginning of the movie we see a quite dramatic scene where an alien species has to flee from their planet and the princess does not manage to get into the space capsule fast enough. She has a very dramatic, but somehow kind of peaceful death scene while her parents are being held back by others so they don't see it. Her death is a very important event for the movie.
