Once upon a time there were two children brought up by the same nurse. Azur, is a blond, blue-eyed son of a nobleman and Asmar is the dark skinned child of the nurse.

One dark day Azur's father cruelly separates them, he sends Azur to the city for a private education and banishes the nurse and Asmar from his home.
