However, a small land dispute quickly develops into deep enmity between the two families. In the midst of this tense atmosphere, the children of the feuding families grow up. As teenagers, they meet by chance in the fields and immediately fall in love. Their love grows in secret, as they know that their families will never agree to a union.
