Lin Aiyu, an undocumented Chinese woman, lives in the neighbourhood of Belleville in Paris, with her teenage daughter Cerise. They are staying at Kieffer’s, a bedridden septuagenarian Lin takes care of in exchange for accommodation. To earn a living, Lin prostitutes herself, but she carefully keeps her activity secret from her daughter.
One day, a wounded stranger forces his way into Kieffer’s home. Pursued by men to whom he owes money, Daniel forces Lin Aiyu to hide him unbeknownst to the old man. In Lin’s view, Daniel is a threat but he could also be a life-changing opportunity. She offers him a deal which will give rise to a struggle of combined power and desire.
