A long time ago, during a violent storm at sea, a woman wearing a crown atop her head writes a note. She places it inside a bottle. Both she and the man she loves realize that they may not make it home, but the message in the bottle just might. The woman says Anna and Elsa must know the truth. The man throws the bottle overboard just as the ship is overcome by an enormous tidal wave. Five years later, in a land known as Arendelle, Elsa and Anna lay flowers by the large stones that serve as a gravesite for the parents they lost at sea.
