Destiny

A young girl must face Death to plead for the life of her deceased lover. Death confronts the young girl with a condition which she must fulfill if she wishes to be reunited with her lover. He tells her three stories set in exotic locales, all involving circumstances similar to her own. She must save the life of at least one of the characters in the stories in order to be with her lover again. As she realizes that she cannot save any of them, she pleads with Death to sacrifice her own life instead. Not until she dies while trying to save a child′s life from a fire is she reunited with her lover.
