Hyang, a student abroad in the States, remained in Algeria which doesn't have diplomatic relationship with Korea because she is falsely charged for smuggling when she was travelling the Sahara. When she called upon the police, Hyang meets an oriental man who she encountered in the hotel by chance.

He is Han Seung-Yeob, a North Korean diplomat who is called there due to the police's misunderstanding. Seung-Yeob sets Hyang at ease because she is nervous about whether she is given to North Korea. Also he asks the police for an air ticket to France by using bribery and introduces his only local friend Mohamed to Hyang. Then he leaves her. As 3 weeks passes, however, Hyang can't get the ticket so she gets to stay at Mano's house on the condition that she helps Mano's daughter in English lessons. Mano is the owner of a restaurant where Mohamed works. But as Mano tries to rape her, Hyang runs out of there. Without hope to go back to her home country, Hyang narrowly earns her daily bread working as a clerk of a souvenir shop when Seung-Yeob comes to her. Seung-Yeob tries to make her escape by using a smuggling car which crosses the border after he discusses with Mohamed.
