Before Sunrise is a romance between a young American (Jesse) and a French student (Celine). A chance 
encounter on the train incites intrigue, and Jesse provocatively suggests that Celine postpones her 
return to France and embarks instead on a spontaneous expedition to Vienna. In the course of their 
14-hour relationship, the two share in their love for the unrehearsed and their appreciation for the 
unexpected as they explore in a powerful meeting of hearts and minds.
