Movie Synopsis:
Based on Nao Iwamoto's Kin no Kuni Mizu no Kuni fantasy romance manga, the film follows two kingdoms that have come to a standstill after a millennium of strife. To cease the endless war, the Gold Kingdom (Alhamit) agreed to send their most beautiful girl to marry a man in the Water Kingdom (Balkari). The Water Kingdom would then send their cleverest man to marry a woman in the Gold Kingdom. However, once the time comes to make good on their agreement, both decide to send an animal in the place of a person. The King of Alhamit selects Sarah, a provincial princess, to marry the chosen Balkarian man, only to find out her groom is a puppy. Meanwhile, the Khan of Balkari nonchalantly elects the unemployed Naranbayar to be the lucky man to receive the Alhamit bride: a kitten. Both make the best out of their respective situations, and through a chance encounter, end up crossing paths on the Balkari side of the wall between their kingdoms. As they navigate through the schemes of their respective leaders, they develop a budding romance as they work together to avoid inciting another war.
