Description of movie: Fire people Ember and her family have immigrated from Fireland to Element City, where fire, water, air, and earth cohabitate. They have found modest success running the family business, a convenience store called the Fireplace. Temperamental Ember isn't sure she's fit to be the owner when her dad retires, but she knows it's her dad's dream. When Ember meets a water guy building inspector named Wade, she begins to fall for his "go with the flow" personality. But how can they have a future when water and fire don't mix? This sweet immigration story is a tale of differences and bringing out the best in each other.
