It begins with Hassan (Seydou Boro), a young African immigrant, laying beside a statue as Sophie (Aissa Maiga), a young local black woman, approaches. Hassan's been injured, and Sophie is an EMT. As she tends to his wounds, he recognizes her and asks if she finally wants to get coffee. She's confused, so he tells her how he knows her. It flashes back to Hassan working in an underground parking lot as Sophie drives in and parks her car. They chat briefly, and Hassan is immediately smitten. He asks her to join him for coffee, but even though she's charmed she declines saying she doesn't have time. Hassan can't forget her though, and dreams and sings love songs, and even approaches women on the street when he thinks it might be her. After one such encounter, a group of thugs hassle Hassan and grab his guitar. As Hassan tries to take it back, one of them stabs him. It flashes forward to Hassan lying next to the statue with Sophie. She's touched by his story, and asks a bystander to run and get them some coffees. The ambulance arrives as the bystander returns with the coffees. The cups shake in Sophie's hand as she watches Hassan, close to death if not dead already, being loaded into the back of the ambulance.
