On her way to school through snowy city streets, a girl finds a red book. On a beach far away, a boy finds a red book, and as each pages through his or her book, each can see the other. After school the girl buys helium balloons and floats away; she drops her book, but finally joins the boy on the beach. Back in the city one of her classmates finds the book, and takes it with him as he cycles away.
