Plot

Professor Quignard and his team of researchers have been studying on PPM, an immunizing protein produced by penguins for a noble prize winning research. Christophine, a shy and young PhD student who is secretly in love with Quignard, decides to inject herself with the penguin genome, in an attempt to advance the professor's research and to get closer to him. Amidst all the experiments she wants him more and more where as the professor is always concerned about the results of his experiments. This breaks her heart that even after all she has done for him, he is so indifferent towards her but she decided to stay quiet to her feelings. The results finally lead him to his goals and he is selected for the win but Christophine realises that her body is changing and reacting to the experiments and she decides to stay alone and closes herself to everything. When the professor finds out he tries every possible way to save her but he has no option left other than sending her to Antarctica and fit with penguins. The professor then injects himself with the same drug he injected Christophine with and goes and lives with her in Antarctica now that he has realised his feelings for her.
