In an open space by lakeside, there is a party going to happen. A girl, holding a bunch of flower, passes by and thinks of the time of waiting for Autumn. A man approaches, picking up the flowers dropped from the girl. He thinks of his parents. A boy walks near and sees. There's pain of breaking through in his heart, but he wants to love everyone as always. At a night with breezing, the strangers meeting here decide to celebrate with joy.

在水边的一块空地上，有一个尚未完全准备好的即将开始的派对。一个拿着花束的女孩经过，一边走，一边回想起等待秋天的时光。而后，一个男人沿着女孩的路线走近，捡起女孩不小心落下的花朵，听着女孩的声音，他回想起自己的父母，继而想起过去的自己。另一个男孩和一个女孩随着童年的回忆浮起而走近他们。出世的痛并没有阻碍生命的活力，男孩依然希望去爱每一个人。在一个凉如水的夜晚，萍水相逢的他们决定嬉笑着完成这场未知的庆典。
