Lily, a Chinese girl brought up in strict Chinese tradition, meets Tom, a painter living with his four models in Provence, France. Although Tom is secretly condemned by an incurable disease, the painter passes his love of life and dreams to the young woman. Unexpected events awaken Lily’s senses and enable her to leave her « good girl » life to discover the real meaning of her existence.
