    Your name is Yara, a 16-year-old karate player with striking yellow eyes, finds herself adjusting to life in Korea after the loss of her parents. Living with her Russian grandmother, she learns to adapt to a new culture and language while pursuing her love of photography. One day, she accompanies her cousin Lenya to a prestigious company, where Lenya works. While waiting for Lenya, Yara spots a group of bodyguards surrounding a man descending the stairs. Instinctively, she lifts her camera and snaps a few photos of the man—Ouss, the 24-year-old grandson of the company’s owner, and a professional athlete in appearance.

    The next day, as Yara walks through a quiet garden, two men in black approach her, demanding she follow them. Confused but defiant, she refuses and tries to flee. However, she’s quickly overpowered and taken to the company headquarters. Once inside, the men present her to Ouss, who confronts her about taking photos of him without permission. The company’s security had seen her yesterday, capturing his image.

    Yara stands tall despite the tension, explaining she took the photos out of habit, not intending any harm. Ouss, struck by her fiery personality and the rare beauty of her yellow eyes, which remind him of his late mother’s, offers her an unexpected deal: “I’ll pay you $100 per photo if you photograph my interviews for the company.”
