Il y a 3 jeunes filles sur la montagne, qui n'ont jamais vieilli et n'ont pas été touchées par l'âge. Ils avaient l'habitude d'être amis mais leur frère se méfie d'une ou deux d'entre elles, et c'est à ce moment que tous les 3 ont commencé la querelle. Bien sûr, deux (jouées par Lin) des trois jeunes filles sont des jumelles, un mal un bon.
