Thanh is frequently away on business trips and cannot spend much time at home.

While showing Van Nhi around, Thanh explains that one of the rooms belongs – or belonged – to her husband, but seems reluctant to speak more on the matter. All seems to begin well, but at night things begin to get eerie in the big house. To make matters more unsettling, Kitty tells Van Nhi that her father comes to visit her every night to sing her a lullaby. Furthermore, Van Nhi starts to wonder if the music teacher (Dan Truong) she has a close relationship with at university is somehow related to the goings-on at the house.

With no way to contact her father, Nhat Ha decides to travel to Hokkaido to find him.

But this quest is by no means an easy one: She speaks no Japanese, and navigating her way around the island could prove problematic. Fortunately, perhaps, she meets Akira (Takafumi Akutsu), a young, Japanese man with a love for 35mm film photography. Nhat Ha is also a keen photographer who also prefers analog cameras. Despite the fact that neither of the duo speaks a word of each other’s language, an unconventional friendship sparks between them. This could soon turn to romance, they begin to feel – but could untold secrets and forbidding language barriers impede Cupid’s progress?
