Keld是个对生活厌倦,温文尔雅的中年管子工,25年的妻子离开了他。为了填肚子,他在当地的一家外买中餐馆的菜单上获寻食物。餐馆的主人说服他与从中国来拜访他们的妹妹“阾”结成政治婚姻,以便能让她获得合法居住权。易碎的的爱情在这两个曾被伤害、脆弱的个体中展开,不过一个秘密让他们的关系有了一个重大扭转。一部精湛的、感人的关于不同生活方式人们的故事Keld, an overweight, uninspired Danish plumber, is alone. When his bored, frustrated wife leaves him, he begins to eat dinner at the family-run Chinese take-out across the street. Working methodically through the numbered menu, he finds an unexpected friend in Feng, a genial man with his own concerns. Keld helps fix the plumbing in the diner, and then Feng asks for assistance with another problem: his Chinese sister requires a marriage of convenience to stay in Denmark. Enter Ling (Vivan Wu), a young woman who is not at all comfortable with this "strictly pro-forma" arrangement. Over time, Ling's gentle influence brings Keld into a world of tradition, full of surprising rewards and life-changing affection. This romantic tale has the fairy tale feel of what just might happen when people fall in love.
