I Have To Buy New Shoes

Photographer Sen is to accompany his younger sister Suzume on a sight-seeing trip to Paris, having been told that he is along for good luck, but not being given a reason. Once they arrive in Paris, however, Suzume suddenly announces she needs to be on her own, and abandons Sen.

Lost and unable to find his way back to their hotel, Sen wanders the streets of Paris. He drops his passport, and Aoi, a freelance writer living in the city, steps on it. She breaks a heel which Sen fixes with crazy glue, then gives him directions to the Japanese embassy and a business card.
