Shen Ai-yuan (Chinese-French actress Sandrine Pinna, aka Chang Yung-yung) is a vaguely rebellious middle-class teen who lives with her father and is always late for class. Into her life swims the quiet Dai Si Shi-miao, aka Miao-miao (Ke Jia-yan), an exchange student from Japan who turns out to be ethnically Chinese, born in Taiwan.
The two girls bond and slowly get to know Chen Fei (Wing Fan, aka Fan Chih-wei) who runs a cozy little CD shop, reads Jack Kerouac's "On the Road" and is in a perpetual funk over the death of a colleague in a band he used to play in. As Miao-miao takes a special liking to him, while still pining for her adopted country, Ai-yuan gets a bad attack of jealousy that her best buddy has been stolen from her.
18 year-old Ai lives the life of a mischievous teenager. She ignores her studies, putting all her passion into baking cakes that always come out burnt, lopsided, or hard as a rock. Ai cannot imagine a greater happiness than one day making the perfect pastry, until someone new walks into her life and Ai discovers some things in life are sweeter than cake.
This is Miao Miao, a shy exchange student from Japan. Yet behind Miao Miao’s modest exterior hides a master chef. Miao Miao teaches Ai the delicate art of baking and Ai introduces Miao Miao to Taipei’s ugliest snack, chicken feet. Both girls promise to make this year special. The year Miao Miao will do everything she’s not allowed to do at home.
