Chen Guang is a 21-year-old Chinese woman, who lives in Beijing. Her Indonesian mother died during the May 1998 riot in Jakarta. She then heads for Korea to erase the terrible memories haunting her, and replace them with good ones. 

On her first day in Korea, Chen Guang meets Huan, also a Chinese woman of the same age, who has resided in Korea for quite a while. Their journey begins. After spending the whole day together, Chen Guang and Huan spend a night in a small motel; passing the night in one of its rooms. Nothing happens between them, almost. 

The next morning, Chen Guang decides to return to Beijing because she has found what she’s looking for: happiness.
