A Japanese librarian in Bangkok fantasizes about committing suicide, but gets interrupted every time he attempts to end his life. He becomes obessed with a beautiful girl he sees in the library and then witnesses her death and tries to comfort her pot-smoking sister. Kenji is a mysterious, obsessive-compulsive, suicidal Japanese man living in Bangkok, Thailand who gets thrown together with Noi, a Thai woman, through a tragic chain of events. Noi is everything Kenji is not. He is a neat freak who keeps his dishes washed and his books neatly stacked and organized. She dresses like a slob, smokes pot and never picks up after herself. It's a match that somehow seems to work. Slowly, as Noi begins to seduce Kenji back to life, more is revealed about him and why he's suicidal and living in Bangkok.
