A tale of passionate and secret love told by each of the protagonists, Ana and Otto, from the age of eight to the age of twenty-five. Otto and Ana are kids when they meet each other. Their names are palindromes. They meet by chance, people are related by chance. A story of circular lives, with circular names, and a circular place (Arctic Circle) where the day never ends in the midnight sun. There are things that never end, and Love is one of them.
