Episode 1
Santenare was an island blessed by the ocean goddess. The life of this nation revolved around two things: beauty and wealth. Despite its mystical beauty, Santenare too had its ugly parts, and it’s called Gimora, aka the slums run by Nino.
Adele, the female protagonist of the High Society movie, belonged to this slum. She was mistaken for a man, and she owed a lot of money to Nino. If she failed to pay back, Nino threatened to send her to coal mines while her only friend went to a brothel.
Despite the odds, Adele refused to leave behind her sick friend Clarissa, determined to get out of Gimora. Polishing shoes of a rich noble, Adele was desperate to get Clarissa off the island before Nino could kill them.
