This is the story of the encounter, the Young Jesse of the United States, the French girl Selina, two young people who are full of youth meet by chance on the intercontinental train, they are very close, they have a good conversation, and then Jesse graciously invites Selina to visit Vienna for one day, only one day, because Jesse will leave by plane the next day.
They wandered aimlessly through the streets and alleys of Vienna, on the tram, in the bar, in the cemetery, in the video store, in the café, and along the way the two chatted, talked about each other's past, talked about their feelings about life, and naturally held hands and kissed. But when Selena asked Jesse about love, he refused, saying, "Love is too complicated, I'd rather talk about sex." They are attracted to each other, but the love is too heavy.
This night is destined to be beautiful and long, but no one can have a future, they can only hold on to the present, they have also thought about asking for each other's address and phone, but they are worried that this will make this emotion unsustainable. The dawn will finally come, and they are confused about sealing a good relationship with seeing or not seeing.
Dawn is coming, and beautiful men and women are about to part. On the platform, the two agreed to meet again in half a year.
Imagine the scene where the two are together all day long after a few years, a couple begins to annoy each other, knows each other's every move, at this time love gradually passes away and is replaced by affection, and there are always some people, in order to avoid such an end, so they refuse to start everything.
This is a romantic love movie, there is no dog blood plot, the scene is not complicated, but behind the seemingly expressing love, the director is discussing the relationship between people. What is the right distance for love? How many people tend to be flat because they have it? How many people have a beautiful and abrupt love sealed in their memories, only to take it out and carefully examine it in the middle of the night? Love is indeed the most complicated relationship between people, but often "you meet me, I meet you, this is the meaning" is more simple and pure.
