It is a romance story similar to the concept of Romeo and Juliet. In this film, Sirius a Water Child of the Water Clan and Malta a Fire Child of the Fire Clan fall in love, however they face opposition and sadly die together.

Adults and children alike will love this mythological adventure set in the world of long, long ago. It's the story of two generations of love, jealousy and courage. Sirius, the Sea Prince, falls in love with Malta, the daughter of Hyperia, Queen of Fire. But, from the beginning, their love is clouded by their parents' stern disapproval. When Sirius and Malta try to escape their parents' wrath, they become enveloped in a powerful storm conjured by the evil Algorac, Lord of the Winds. The classic plight of these two lovers builds to an exciting climax as they struggle to stay together. This is family entertainment at its very best."

"Long ago, spirits of fire and water lived as one. But jealous Algaroch, lord of the winds, drove a rift between King Oceanus and his sister Hyperia, queen of fire. Since then fire fairies and water sprites have been at war and forbidden from consorting, but when Prince Sirius, the king's chosen successor, meets Hyperia's beautiful daughter Maltak, they fall madly in love. A wise, old turtle explains their one chance is to reach the hill of Elysium during the next solar eclipse, where a magic flower blossoms that can carry them to a distant star where fire and water live as one.
This classic animated film, produced by Sanrio (Hello Kitty) is finally available on DVD.
