The opening scene shows her engaging in self-pleasure while watching a pornographic tape before heading to a party in search of a sexual encounter. Despite her assertiveness, she remains emotionally guarded. At the party, she is drawn to David, who interrupts her plans by pulling her into a bathroom while his girlfriend calls from outside. Later, Leila chooses another partner and has sex outside as David watches from his car.
Leila encounters David again and leads him to a playground, where they share a moment of mutual attraction, but he ultimately walks away. When they meet once more, they finally connect emotionally and sleep together. David asks Leila on a real date, marking the beginning of their romance.
