Alex, a young man of Chinese descent, feels like a free man on the top of a mountain, living in Paris with his French girlfriend. When he suddenly has to face the mysterious death of his brother, he returns to his family in the Chinese district of Paris. Unable to follow the rites and traditions of his family, he feels estranged from his father's heritage, something he parted ways with a long time ago. With the help of his beautiful and disturbing cousin Lily, and coping with his own ignorance of his father’s culture and language, he tries to unravel a family secret. Will he be strong enough to forgive the past and to reconcile with his family?
