In the cramped kitchen of The Golden Dragon, a 'Chinese/Vietnamese/Thai restaurant', a crisis is unfolding: a young Chinese cook-the new one, the one who's looking for his sister-has a toothache. Without residency papers, his decayed tooth must be wrenched out by another member of the kitchen staff. The missing tooth lands in a bowl of Thai soup of a flight attendant. In the apartment building above them, a young couple fights and eats takeout, while another man escapes from his apartment to the restaurant below to avoid watching his wife move out. The same man ends up drinking with the shop-keeper of the dry goods store next door to the restaurant, who is more connected to the young Chinese man than anyone suspects.
