Flower and Alice are a pair of good friends. They go to school together, learn ballet together, and embark on an unknown journey together.

Their friendship is sincere and pure. get out of school together, wear cute high school uniforms, and stroll under the cherry blossom trees. Play in the colorful streets and sprinkle cherry blossom petals.

Sitting on the tram, resting his head on the other's shoulder, whispering softly. Chatting happily between ballet classes. Threads of sunlight shone from the gaps in the windows, and you could see the tiny dust fluttering in the air. The feeling of warmth was so hazy and beautiful.

Flower falls in love with a boy named Miyamoto, and secretly takes pictures of him every day where he rides the tram, and whispers to Alice.

Hua followed Miyamoto like a stalker every day, secretly capturing every moment of Miyamoto with a camera. But Miyamoto seems to be holding a book every day and talking about something.

He didn't care about the surroundings at all, and he couldn't notice the eyes that were always full of love behind him.

This is first love. The boy he likes always wears neat school uniforms, looks at the book in his hand attentively, and is quiet and restrained.

Finally one day, Miyamoto, who was still looking at the notebook in his hand seriously while walking, bumped into the safety door of the store, staggered and fell, and Hua hurried over, looking at Miyamoto's dazed eyes, and said with a fever. A sentence that changed the youth of several people: "You lost your memory? You said you liked me."

The beginning of a lie requires countless lies to round it up. When Hua and Miyamoto were getting along, Miyamoto stumbled upon Hua's computer with many photos of himself on the road.

In order to cover up the past, Hua could only say that these photos were taken by Miyamoto's ex-girlfriend Alice.

In this way, the innocent Alice was also dragged in by her friends...

In order to "restore" the previous memory, Miyamoto hopes that Alice will take him to walk the road they have traveled in the past, and tell the story of their past. Unconsciously, the two people have a good feeling for each other, so the relationship between Hana and Alice contradictions are increasing.

Alice also knew that the dull and cute boy in front of her was someone her best friend liked...

"Flower, what if I only recovered half of my memory? That is, the part where I fell in love with Alice."

Miyamoto fell in love with Alice, and Alice was gradually attracted by Miyamoto. The story unfolded by a lie of the flower began to develop in a direction she did not expect. The friendship of two girls is cracked by a boy...

Miyamoto is a kind boy, his mind is much more delicate than it looks. He has long understood that everything is a lie, but he still patiently accompanies the girls. He eventually forgave them, in very tender words.

In the middle of the film, a play between Alice and her father must be mentioned. Alice, who grew up in a single-parent family, met her father who rarely visited her, and her father also specially prepared a gift for his precious daughter. When communicating with her father, Alice always kept a short distance. The love between father and daughter is so subtle and introverted. Dad used the phrase "I love you" in Chinese to avoid the embarrassment of expressing love directly in his native language. When they parted, Alice also said it through the iron gate that was about to close. Here are a few: I love you, bye!

This is also what Alice said to Miyamoto later. I can't hug you, so I have to tell you in this way that you have come to my heart. The words fell, and tears had already flowed down my hot body along with the background music.

It's the scene where Alice returns the ace of hearts to Miyamoto

"Return this to you and put it in the innermost layer of your wallet. When you find it occasionally, please remember me."

"Then I'll look for it every day." Alice smiled, she approached Miyamoto slowly, and said in Chinese, "I love you." "What do you mean?" "Secret." Chinese said: "Goodbye." "What does this mean again?" "Secret." This time Alice didn't look back.
