The story
On a tropical island in the Pacific Ocean, a lonely volcano named Uku watches the wildlife creatures frolic with their mates and wishes to find one of his own. Uku sings a song to the ocean every day for millions of years, gradually venting his lava and sinking into the water, but does not realize that a female submarine volcano named Lele has heard him every day and has fallen in love with Uku. Lele emerges on the day Uku becomes almost extinct, but her face is turned away and she cannot see him.
