Five-year-old Lily, carrying a teddy bear backpack, tracks down the father from an old photograph during a hotel family banquet. Convinced she was sent by his ex-girlfriend, Max adamantly refuses to acknowledge her—yet his parents and brother immediately step in to protect her. Though Max says no with his words, his actions betray him: he instinctively steadies her backpack, plays along at her tea parties, and tucks her in when she falls asleep. When Lily’s mother, Sophie, arrives, the little girl realizes her troubles have only just begun: Sophie refuses to accept Max, and Max is too stubborn to ask Sophie back. Even after he claims his daughter, the family remains apart. Determined to reunite them, the clever little matchmaker begins shifting chairs, matching aprons, sharing umbrellas, and plotting secret dates—relentlessly pulling these two stubborn adults back into each other's arms.
