The online romance of Hui-Jun with a foreigner ignites gossip in the peaceful rural town where she lives.

When Hui-Jun develops a digital romance with a French man, her community laughs and calls it a scam. To prove Martin’s existence, Hui-Jun, who has never been abroad, decides to leave for Paris to find him.
