A former fashion magazine editor, Aiko "Mei Kurokawa", is sent to Japan to cover a cycling event. She meets her contact in Taiwan - a fellow Japanese who married a local - who reveals herself to be pregnant and unable to help. Venturing alone despite not speaking any Mandarin "but a little English", Aiko meets an aspiring model, Dong Dong "Teresa Daley", at a bicycle shop, and who offers to be Aiko's travel guide. Dong Dong bears an uncanny resemblance to the girl who caused the breakup with her ex-boyfriend at the start of the movie. Together, the two of them slowly form a bond and have an adventure together.
