Tina trabaja en un barco; ordena los camarotes, hace las camas, limpia las ventanas. A veces los camarotes no tienen ventana, entonces Tina cuelga en la pared una foto grande donde se ve el mar y el cielo; es casi lo mismo.  Antonio es cocinero. Se pasa el día pelando zanahorias, cortando calabacines, picando perejil; y todas las noches, prepara pasta con tomate, flores rellenas y helados. Dos barcos atraviesan los mares. Dos destinos se cruzarán hasta reencontrarse.

Tina works on a boat; tidies the cabins, makes the beds, cleans the windows. Sometimes the cabins do not have a window, so Tina hangs a large photo on the wall where you can see the sea and the sky; it is almost the same. Antonio is a cook. He spends the day peeling carrots, cutting courgettes, chopping parsley; and every night, she prepares pasta with tomato, stuffed flowers and ice cream. Two ships cross the seas. Two destinies will cross until they meet again.
