Stranded along a sublime river fjord in northern Portugal, an ornithologist is subjected to a series of brutal and erotic Stations-of-the-Cross-style tests.
Four young people, Bastien, Théo, Jeanne, and Han, meet in a Chinese restaurant. Jeanne talks a lot, especially about herself. Han, a young Chinese immigrant, is still looking for a place to sleep, but doesn't let on. The two boys size each other up and observe the girls.
Confronted with a class of cheating students, a young Chinese professor decides on a course of action that threatens to undermine the entire school system and expose the tangles of deceit in her own life.
