A famous sprinter considers quitting competition, when he gets to meet Tonka, an Indian woman living in a big advertising coke can near Roissy Charles De Gaulle airport. She is naturally talented for running, and the sprinter decides to train her to become a sprinter like him. As they fall in love, Tonka cheers him up, and then tries to pursue him to take over competition.
