Jim enjoys his simple life – taking photos, riding bikes and chilling in cafes. However, a dramatic event – a suicide bombing – turns his life upside down. Right before the explosion occurs, he is saved by Bo, a girl he has a crush on. Bo shows him another side of the world: the rigorous rules that govern us.
