Alex, a young, somewhat lost, daydreaming graphic designer, falls for his new neighbor Lili, a beautiful Asian girl. Too shy to approach her, Alex secretly observes her and quickly discovers her secret: Lili does not come from China, but from far far away.

Alex and Cerise love each other with a happy love. One afternoon, Alex is attacked in front of Cerise and fear prevents him from reacting. While Cerise makes this story a simple anecdote, Alex saw it as a real humiliation.
