What happens
The Sea Prince and the Fire Child (シリウスの伝説, Shiriusu no Densetsu; lit. The Legend of Sirius) is a 1981 Japanese anime romantic fantasy film directed by Masami Hata, who co-wrote the screenplay with Chiho Katsura, based on a story by Shintaro Tsuji. It is said to be a loose retelling of Romeo and Juliet, itself a European version of many tales of star-crossed lovers in a variety of cultures and eras. In this story, the children of the gods of fire and water fall in love and fight to stay together in the face of adversity. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
