Ellida was a lighthouse guardian's daughter. She had grown up by the sea ever since childhood. After her father passed away, she married Doctor Wangel. He was much older than her, and she became the stepmother of his two daughters. Ellida moved to reside in the fjord area together with her husband. Many years later, however she still struggled to adapt to the inland. She missed the sea so much, which gradually turned into nostalgia with her innermost thoughts that kept churning her mind nonstop, day and night. In the summer, a large ship sailed into the fjord along the meandering sea channel, which not only carried a large number of noisy tourists, but brought along a strange man. Then the mystery of Ellida's history was unraveled.
