When Jesse and Celine met on a Eurail train, the connection between them was immediate and profound. The 
14-hour relationship that followed, as the pair explored the spontaneous and unexpected in Vienna, ended on 
a train platform where they swore they'd meet again six months later. Nine years have passed since that morning. 
On the last stop of his book tour, at the tail end of a reading in a Paris book shop, Jesse finds Celine 
watching from the back of the room. She lives in Paris now, he in New York. He's flying out that evening and 
they utilize every moment, finding their human connection no less vital, inspiring or real than it was in nine 
years ago in Vienna.In real time, these two individuals explore the inner workings of their hearts and minds and 
rediscover their rare yet powerful love for the unexpected, the unrehearsed, and each other. 

===============

Jesse, a writer from the US, and Celine, a Frenchwoman working for an environment protection organization, 
acquainted nine years ago on the train from Budapest to Vienna, meet again when Jesse arrives in Paris for a 
reading of his new book. As they have only a few hours until his plane leaves, they stroll through Paris, talking 
about their experiences, views and whether they still love each other, although Jesse is already married with 
a kid.
