Ikigai (生き甲斐)

Irena and Ike 池 meet in the most unexpected circumstances: inside the tallest forest (Redwood) known to man and uttering different languages. Both are lost yet in contrasting situations; he was just in Japan's countryside and she can't seem to remember anything. This experimental meeting leads them to the strange development of kinship without fluency and a battle against all odds. Together, they discover the reason for their appearance within the forest and the world outside of the Redwoods. Do they have the brains and power to do so?
