Scarlet Sails

On a dream that comes true if you believe in it.

In the seaside village of Kaperna a girl named Assol is growing up. One day a storyteller tells her that a ship with scarlet sails will come for her. The village laughs at the dreamer, while far away Arthur Grey grows up, a boy who has wanted to be a captain since childhood. A fairy tale about believing in miracles and about people who can make miracles happen with their own hands.
