Otto and Ana were just children when they met. Both have the same name spelled backwards, but this is just a coincidence. Just as the special bond that each person forms with another person is actually a coincidence, so is their meeting. In a place where the beginning and the end of the day blend into each other, where coincidences drag us along; in the Arctic circle, circular lives, circular names and sometimes a love that never ends, like the daylight never disappears.
